Working with teams at SpaceX and NASA - are examining the safety and efficacy of blood flow restriction garments in space. Currently designing the next stages for these and wanting to look at incorporating some biological markers of muscle and bone metabolism as part of some groundwork.

Hello all, Are there any ongoing studies using C. elegans or zebrafish to explore the effects of simulated microgravity? I’m interested in learning about how these organisms are used, the methods involved, and what discoveries have been made. Understanding the goals and outcomes of these studies would be really insightful. Also, I’m very open to discussing potential collaboration opportunities in this area of research.
