The team at the Aerospace Medicine and Rehabilitation Laboratory brings together a diverse range of expertise in order to take a truly interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of human adaptations to reduced gravity environments and the research and development of novel exercise-based countermeasures to help mitigate against these adaptations. With expertise not just in the human spaceflight area, but also in terrestrial health, the Laboratory has the skills to translate research findings from space to benefit people on Earth.
