Description:
EXTRACTING NOVEL INFORMATION FROM CANADIAN SPACE LIFE SCIENCE ASTRONAUT DATA
The current project will provide an opportunity for young, highly talented Canadian scientists to engage in data mining exercise that will leverage data collected from the CSA-supported projects BP Reg and Vascular. Novel hypotheses developed since these original studies can utilize spaceflight data to provide insights into blood pressure regulation and the effects of stiffer arteries on blood flow to the brain. Our results set the stage for applications of the CSA Bio-Monitor and advanced ultrasound technology to benefit astronauts in future long-duration exploration missions; and, they open opportunities to benefit health in the aging population on Earth.
