Drs. Ed Kelly (Department of Pharmaceutics) and Cathy Yeung (Department of Pharmacy) recently attended and presented their research at the International Space Station Research and Development Conference (ISSRDC) held in Seattle August 1-3.
Drs. Kelly and Yeung (with co-PI Jonathan Himmelfarb, Kidney Research Institute) received funding from NCATS and NASA to study the effects of microgravity on kidney function by sending their kidney microphysiological system to the International Space Station on two separate missions aboard SpaceX rockets (CRS-17 & CRS-22).
