Advancing Human Health: Space Station Benefits

Researchers from around the world use the International Space Station to address complex human health problems on Earth, such as studying disease formation, testing drugs and diagnostic tools, and examining the inner workings of the human body. Much of this work employs unique microgravity tools including protein crystals and tissue chips, as well as devices designed specifically for space but that also have been adapted for use on Earth.
