Title:

Human Adaptation to Spaceflight: An Integrated Metabolomic Analysis of ISS Data

Agreement Number:

24GWROSS1

Agreement Value:

$225,000.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 12, 2025 - Mar 1, 2028

Description:

Participate in NASA’s Human Research Program largest research effort to pursue the first integrated data analysis from 71 astronauts collected over 12 years. Assess metabolomic biomarkers in blood and urine to identify metabolic signatures linked to long-duration spaceflight. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches, link metabolomic profiles to individual physiological, environmental, dietary, medical, and exercise data to gain insights into sex-specific adaptative mechanisms, pathogenic pathways, and risk factors of spaceflight.

Organization:

Canadian Space Agency

Expected Results:

The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
