Worthington and Sander receive NASA grant through Iowa State EPSCoR program
Wednesday, November 17, 2021
Kristan Worthington and Edward Sander are investigating the impact that low gravity environments have on regenerative tissue technology that could be used for therapy during space missions. The intent is to advance the collective ability to use stem cell technology during long-term spaceflight for astronauts that require treatment.
