Presented By:
Nicolas Nelson MD - UCLA Radiation Oncology

Abstract:


Learn about ionizing radiation in the final frontier from UCLA Space Medicine Program Director Dr. Haig Aintablian and Radiation Oncology resident Dr. Nic Nelson. They will share a brief overview of modern space medicine and basic radiobiology before exploring the space radiation environment with its unique risks to astronaut health. They will then illustrate how researchers and mission planners are preparing for the next phase of human space exploration—interplanetary travel—by investigating different physical and biological countermeasures and applications in personalized medicine.
