Lecture  Title:

"Biomedical Effects of Space Flight - Operational Perspective"



The space and microgravity environment presents unique biomedical challenges to astronauts and other biological systems.  These issues are increased during long-duration spaceflight, and will become more important as missions beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO) are contemplated.  Dr. Chiao presents an overview of these problems, as well as current operational countermeasures and developments, against a backdrop of his spaceflight experiences.

We encourage BCM students, faculty and staff to attend the CSM elective lecture series "Introduction to Human Space Exploration and Medicine."   Please contact me if you need additional information about this presentation.

Thank you,
