Background

This project explores how microgravity and cosmic radiation influence cellular senescence, using NASA GeneLab and SpaceX biospecimens.
  • Analyses of single-cell and bulk RNA-Seq datasets from human and murine tissues exposed to spaceflight.
  • Cross-organ comparison of ageing and quiescence signatures between space and terrestrial models.
