Exciting news! As some of you may have already heard, our SLICE (SaLiva In spaCE) collaborative project has been selected from over 200 research proposals, with the European Space Agency – ESA and SpaceX.
This initiative is the result of a collaboration with Professor Damian M. Bailey (University of South Wales) and aims to gain an insight into how the human body responds to the stress of spaceflight. SLICE seeks to fundamentally change the way we monitor and reduce stress in extreme environments. By investigating salivary biomarkers, the project hopes to pave the way for innovative health solutions. By examining the impact of the gravitational transitions of spaceflight on the expression of ‘space stress’-related proteins, SLICE aims to identify novel ‘space-stress’ biomarkers that will allow for the development of new countermeasures to reduce physiological stress and ultimately improve health and safety for spaceflight crew.
The Fram2 mission, the first commercialised manned flight into polar orbit to explore the Earth, will serve as a platform for this research, marking a major step forward in space medicine.
