The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) is honored to announce its selection for a pioneering cancer research project that will take place aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Atrium Health Wake Forest BaptistSep 6 2024 The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine is honored to announce its selection for a pioneering cancer research project that will take place aboard the International Space Station . The project, one of only five chosen through a competitive solicitation by the ISS National Lab in partnership with NASA, aims to explore the effects of microgravity on cancer development and treatment.
Being selected for this project is an incredible honor and opportunity for our team at WFIRM. The microgravity environment of the ISS provides a unique setting to study cancer in ways that are not possible on Earth. This research has the potential to unlock new understandings of cancer behavior and lead to more effective treatments."
The ISS National Lab, in collaboration with NASA, seeks to harness the power of space-based research to benefit life on Earth. The selected projects are at the forefront of scientific exploration and innovation, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in cancer research. Related StoriesThe implications of this research extend far beyond the ISS. By studying cancer in a microgravity environment, scientists hope to uncover new mechanisms of disease progression and identify novel therapeutic targets. The results of this study could lead to the development of more effective cancer treatments and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
