2nd Australian
Space Biology Symposium
FURTHERING SPACE EXPLORATION & TREATING HUMAN DISEASES
FROM TOMORROW AND BEYOND
PIONEERING SPACE BIOLOGY INNOVATION
WELCOME to the
2nd Australian Space Biology Symposium
UTS in collaboration with Mayo Clinic is hosting ASBS 2020 to showcase and discuss the latest developments in space biology & medicine.
ASBS2020 will bring together the international research and industry community to bridge the gap between basic science and technology.
You will hear from a number of world-leading multidisciplinary group of experts about new biological experiments and advances in space research.
What we hope you may take away
Be inspired – exchanging ideas with colleagues
Build new collaborations – connect with old and new colleagues both in academia and industry
Create new ideas - identify new areas for your next research project
Build new bridges – it can be difficult to find the right partner, here you can start to find the best fit for your project ideas
Think further – what are the questions we haven’t asked? What is the next big discovery waiting in space biology?
Dream big – what would you like to see happen next, where do you see your work going?
