EOSC Future’s Post

Today, I came across an article in the Economic Times where the Chairman of ISRO discussed various space programs, including bio research and drug discovery. It got me thinking - why not have pharma companies invest in Indian space programs for experiments in space? We know that cosmic rays can alter the properties of substances. For instance, the cherry blossom tree seeds that went to space and returned as "Chujo-hime-seigan-zakura" had a significantly faster growth rate than those from Earth. Creating immediate solutions may not be feasible, but what about fostering innovation and creating intellectual property? Any company, not just pharma, could contribute, conduct experiments, and own the IP for future development. Let's remember, the discovery of penicillin was a result of a mere experiment. #SpaceResearch #PharmaceuticalInnovation #ISRO #IndianSpaceProgram #SpaceTechnology #ResearchAndDevelopment #InnovationInIndia #PharmaIndustry #SpaceExploration #Collaboration #ScientificDiscovery ISRO - Indian Space Research Organization DrReddys Laboratories Romania SunPharmacy Co Cipla AUROBINDO PHARMA LTD @DrJitendraSingh (Minister of State for Space) #JUSTATHOUGHT #vivenkumarXR #XoRphilic 💡letsconnecttoexplore 🥽XREnthusiast

🚀 I am still waiting to participate in the #ESASpaceOmicsHackathon2024 ... In the last days of this month, to be confirmed, I will have the opportunity to collaborate with brilliant minds in the fields of biology and bioinformatics to tackle one of the most intriguing challenges in space exploration: space-induced aging. Our team, Space Chronomics, delved into the physiological aging processes that astronauts experience in space, driven by factors like microgravity and cosmic radiation. Our project, "Defying Time: Unraveling the Secrets of Space-Induced Aging," focused on utilizing multi-omics approaches to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind space-induced aging. By analyzing NASA GeneLab datasets and leveraging bioinformatics tools, we will aim to identify key biomarkers, develop predictive models, and explore potential interventions to protect astronauts on long-term missions. Key takeaways from this experience: - Advanced Bioinformatics & Machine Learning: Using these tools to integrate complex multi-omics data across different tissues will be a game-changer. - Real-World Impact: Our findings not only will contribute to safer space exploration but also will offer valuable insights into aging mechanisms on Earth, which could inform treatments for age-related conditions. A huge shoutout to my amazing team: - Ana Quirós González, PhD candidate at the University of Basel (Switzerland) - Sakshi Yadu, PhD candidate at Jawaharlal Nehru University (India) - Albert-Jan Plate, Medical Student at Maastricht University (Netherlands) - Julio Ramírez Guerrero, Master's student at International University of Andalusia (Spain) And of course, a big thanks to the European Space Agency - ESA for organizing such a forward-thinking event! I'm excited to continue exploring the intersection of space and biology, and I'm eager to see where this research takes us. 🌍🚀 #ESAHackathon #SpaceOmics #AgingResearch #InnovationInSpace #Bioinformatics #SpaceBiology #SpaceExploration

Today I had the opportunity to present at the 10th International Scientific-Business Conference LIMEN 2024 organized by Association of Economists and Managers of the Balkans - Udekom Balkans, sharing my work on "Designing Space Travel Products with Genetic Insights." The presentation explored how genetic data can shape #hyperpersonalized solutions for #astronauts, helping address challenges like #radiation exposure and #microgravity-induced health issues. While research in how precision medicine addresses astronauts' health challenges is advancing, my work focuses on the marketing perspective—emphasizing how genetic insights can drive hyper-personalization, 🌱 sustainability-focused innovation, and stronger 🌟 consumer engagement. 🌍 I also pointed out the importance of combining traditional marketing approaches with customized, nation-based strategies, especially as many countries are starting or reviving their space programs. For this to succeed, the accumulation of genetic data is crucial. The World Health Organization’s recent Guidance on human genome data collection, access, use, and sharing further highlights the need for structured, ethical data practices to support global #innovation. It was inspiring to see how these ideas resonated and bridge science, marketing, and sustainability for both Earth and space. #spacemarketing #geneticdata #gdi #astronauts #precisionmedicine

Microgravity exposure during spaceflight poses significant challenges to mammalian physiology, necessitating a deep understanding of underlying mechanisms to develop effective countermeasures. Muscle atrophy, partly due to dysregulated calcium levels and abnormalities in SERCA pump functioning, is a major concern 😕 . To identify potential biomarkers, Sylvain Costes and colleagues utilized multi-omics data and physiological data from the NASA Open Science Data Repository, employing machine learning methods. They analyzed multi-omics (transcriptomic, proteomic, and DNA methylation) and calcium reuptake data from C57BL/6J mouse 🐁 soleus and tibialis anterior tissues during several 30+ day missions on the International Space Station. Using the QLattice symbolic regression algorithm, they also generated highly explainable models predicting experimental conditions or calcium reuptake levels based on multi-omics features. Key features identified include Acyp1 and Rps7 proteins, the most predictive biomarkers for tibialis anterior muscle resilience in #space. These findings pave the way for future interventions aimed at mitigating muscle atrophy during space travel and the great beyond ! 🚀 Check out the full text published under SOMA right here https://lnkd.in/er8WpJfC Christopher Mason Afshin Beheshti
