ΙΜΒΒ-FORTH launches GREECE to the international space station

Date:
8/11/2018

The Foundation for Research and Technology (FORTH), with its Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB), participates in an international scientific experiment with the aim of studying how space flight influences organismal physiology as well as muscle mass and function.

This international effort is coordinated by Dr. Tim Etheridge, University of Exeter, and Prof. Nate Szewczyk, University of Nottingham, in the UK. Four research teams around the world share the workload of the mission, including the team of Prof. Nektarios Tavernarakis (Chairman of the Board, FORTH, Research Director at IMBB and Professor at the Medical School of the University of Crete, Greece), Prof. Atsushi Higashitani (University of Tohoku, Japan), Prof. Monica Driscoll (Rutgers University USA) and Prof. Jin Lee (University of Yonsei, South Korea). It is the first time a Research Institution from Greece is involved in a biomedical research experiment aboard a space mission.
