How can space cell biology be applied to biomedical research?
BSO uses NASA technology and microgravity to address challenges in applied and fundamental cell science. BSO provides ground-based and space cell culture technology for the science community. We also provide the means and tools needed to exploit laboratory facilities aboard the International Space Station. Our ultimate mission, however, is to: • Improve human health on Earth by application of NASA-developed technology in innovative research endeavors • Facilitate basic and applied research of peer-reviewed science in cell biology and tissue engineering • Contribute to space exploration by providing technological advances in life support, health care, and space research • Provide ground-based and space cell culture technology for the science community requiring microgravity and altered gravity environments to achieve scientific goals • Optimize use of laboratory facilities on International Space Station • Promote space cell biology as an academic discipline Space cell biology can be use
