Tissue engineering research aboard International Space Station
NASA astronaut and microbiologist Kate Rubins conducts tissue engineering research for an NSF-supported project aboard the International Space Station. The project was one of seven supported by NSF that were sent to the ISS in November 2022, where the microgravity can offer new insights into solving challenges we face on Earth.
