New ISS research project will benefit cancer patients on Earth. Our collaboration with MD Anderson represents a significant step forward in leveraging space-based research to revolutionize cancer and immunology studies. We're honored to join the team selected for the prestigious NASA "Moonshot Grant".

We've joined forces in a groundbreaking partnership. By combining our AI platform, Yotta, with Farcast's tumor microdynamics data, we're poised to redefine cancer treatment. This collaboration promises to unveil unprecedented insights into tumor mechanisms and therapeutic targets, paving the way for precision-designed therapies.

Space biology research co-authored by Guillermo M. Delgado-Aparicio which aims to understand fundamental spaceflight effects on organisms, develop foundational knowledge to support deep space exploration and, ultimately, bioengineer spacecraft and habitats to stabilize the ecosystem of plants, crops, microbes, animals and humans for sustained multi-planetary life.

Hosted by Boryung in collaboration with Axiom Space and Starburst Aerospace, the CIS Challenge, where Deep Space Biology emerged as a winner, is designed to propel the future of space health and the next generation of pharmaceutical, bioscience, and medtech development in space. This pioneering program, the first of its kind, is strategically positioned to expedite the development of space health and health-adjacent solutions. The goal is to enhance access to space, address human healthcare-related challenges in space, and innovate healthcare solutions that have applications both in space and on Earth.

January 2024-Deep Space Biology was honored to be featured in the NASA Genelab Open Science Data Repository Success Stories podcast. Over three years of collaboration with NASA Genelab, we played a pivotal role in standardizing over two decades' worth of microgravity biological research. Our groundbreaking achievements were realized through the application of Yotta's advanced AI algorithms.

Kimberly Washington, CEO of Deep Space Biology, addresses The World Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia, providing insights on the ever-changing space ecosystem.

During the inaugural Space Ecconomy Summit, Deep Space Biology launched a coalition for Open Science Roundtable & Open Forum seeking to spark a global movement. During these sessions we highlighted open science's impact on human health breakthroughs, it accelerates frontiers in space exploration and drives advancements in Earth's healthcare. Emphasizing unity across borders and disciplines, open science unites humanity for common causes.

Human exploration of deep space will involve missions of substantial distance and duration. To effectively mitigate health hazards, paradigm shifts in astronaut health systems are necessary to enable Earth-independent healthcare, rather than Earth-reliant. This paper showcases the contributions of Guillermo Delgado Aparicio, Chief Operating Officer of Deep Space Biology.

There is no doubt: the Future is here and now. With the rapid innovation and implementation of AI and machine learning across all industries, the future is going to look a lot different over the next few decades. I was able to interview a few entrepreneurs and startup founders who are looking to be a part of this disruption. Here’s a quick look at who they are and what they are doing!

Human exploration of deep space will involve missions of substantial distance and duration. To effectively mitigate health hazards, paradigm shifts in astronaut health systems are necessary to enable Earth-independent healthcare, rather than Earth-reliant. Here we present a summary of decadal recommendations from a workshop organized by NASA on artificial intelligence, machine learning and modelling applications that offer key solutions toward these space health challenges.

Lisbon, Portugal- Kimberly Washington joined a dynamic panel discussion on the transformative potential of microgravity for drug discovery, manufacturing, and tackling complex diseases on Earth.

Deep Space Biology has partnered with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, along with other collaborators to launch a research initiative that will send T cells to the International Space Station (ISS) to investigate the effects of prolonged microgravity on cell differentiation, activation, memory, and exhaustion. Results will be analyzed on Earth to uncover signaling pathways and identify potential immune targets, aiming to enhance treatment strategies for cancer and other diseases.

Celebrating Women's History Month with words of wisdom from across the world.

The history of women's contributions to the space industry is significantly shorter than it is for men,  simply because women were dealt a delayed start in the race. For example, NASA's astronaut program began in 1959, but it wasn't until 1978 when the agency's lineup of astronaut candidates finally included women. Yet, thanks to many brave trailblazers who pushed against the unfair boundaries of equality in space exploration, the number of leading ladies writing their way into history books has risen rapidly. Decades later, I think it's safe to say that, although we still have more work to do, a lot of great work has been done.

Through mentorship connections and collaborative opportunities, Kimberly Washington, Deep Space Biology and Dr. Scott Penberthy- Healthcare and Life Sciences CTO, Google Cloud - aim to inspire and nurture young talents who are passionate about driving positive change in the health landscape.

This keynote provides an in-depth look at how AI can be leveraged for global health impact by utilizing space microgravity research. It will include an overview of recent discoveries and the potential for AI to revolutionize healthcare delivery and outcomes worldwide. o Key Takeaways: - Key findings from space microgravity research - The role of AI in translating these findings into global healthcare innovations - Strategies for global implementation and medical impact.
