What can space teach us about healing on Earth?

Watch this exclusive conversation between Dr. Chandan Sen and NASA astronaut and microbiologist Dr. Kate Rubins, offering a preview of Dr. Rubins’ upcoming keynote at SAWC Spring | WHS.

In this discussion, Dr. Rubins shares how space research is transforming wound healing, tissue regeneration, and regenerative medicine. The extreme conditions of space—microgravity, radiation, and isolation—provide a powerful laboratory for studying human biology in ways not possible on Earth.

What You’ll Learn

• How microgravity impacts tissue repair and wound healing
• Insights into stem cell behavior and regenerative processes
• The role of immune response and human physiology in extreme environments

From Space Innovation to Clinical Practice

Dr. Rubins also highlights how space-developed technologies are shaping care on Earth, including:

• Telemedicine and remote care models
• Portable diagnostics for rural and resource-limited settings
• Advanced imaging and ultrasound applications
