EXTRACTING NOVEL INFORMATION FROM CANADIAN SPACE LIFE SCIENCE ASTRONAUT DATA The current project will provide an opportunity for young, highly talented Canadian scientists to engage in data mining ex...
Spaceflight is harsh: astronauts are exposed to radiation and microgravity, isolated and confined for weeks and months. Eventually, their cognition, sensation, movement, and coordination changes, affe...
This project provides an opportunity for young, talented Canadians to engage in research by using previously collected information. The research team will answer new questions investigating the link b...
Astronauts lose bone mass rapidly while in space. Some bone may recover after returning to Earth, but bone structure may be permanently changed. The ends of long bones are made of porous bone connecte...
The Achilles tendon is critical to walking, yet can be impaired after long period of immobility or lack of gravity, in space or on earth. Our study aims to investigate whether artificial gravity can r...
Vision loss due to Space Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS) is observed in many astronauts, is poorly understood, and remains one of the most feared hazards of space flight. The loss of gravity c...
Light-headedness and fainting occurs when the cardiovascular system is unable to maintain arterial pressures during rapid changes in posture, such as standing up from a horizontal position. Some astro...
IMPACTS OF LONG-TERM SPACE TRAVEL UPON ASTRONAUT HEALTH - ANALYSIS OF MARS500 CREW MICROBIOMES USING IMPROVED METAGENOMICS The microbiome is intricately involved in human health. One concern in space...
Space anemia is well-documented, but we don’t fully understand the cause. This study will analyze the red blood cell data of American and Canadian astronauts over the past 50 years in order to further...
