@UZH_en The researchers of the UZH Space Hub had only a few months to prepare the "Space Genomics" experiment for the Fram2 mission. Read more here: https://t.co/5q9157oxYZ (Image: Space X)

In addition to the scientific gain, the "Space Genomics" experiment represents a didactic cooperation with a Caribbean island nation: the Ministry of Education of Nevis (MOE) in the federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. The experiment marks the beginning of a series in which students will be able to prepare, accompany and evaluate space research together with the UZH Space Hub. “Nevis maintains an excellent standard in education and pursues a very far-sighted and sustainable development strategy. I am very proud to work with our partners and believe that this partnership holds great potential. A new era dawns, a time when space unfolds to all humanity.” says Prof. Oliver Ullrich, Director of UZH Space Hub on this collaboration.

The experiment is conducted aboard the private space mission Fram2, the first human spaceflight mission to a polar orbit. The international four-member crew will conduct 22 research experiments along a polar trajectory, including the one from Switzerland and Nevis. The space flight is planned to last three to four days. @UZH_en (Image: Fram2-Crew)

The experiment "Space Genomics" on the Fram2 space mission could already be processed in orbit in the night from Wednesday to Thursday. The Swiss-Nevisian experiment explores the vital role of genomic architecture and adaptive mechanisms enabling human survival and adaptation in space. Dynamic chromatin, which allows to produce different phenotypes from the same genome, was recently identified by Dr. Cora Thiel and Prof. Oliver Ullrich from the UZH Space Hub as key factors in how gene expression is influenced by gravitational forces. The new study aims to uncover the potential or limitations for long-term, environment-driven adaptations that could one day support sustained human life across planets. The UZH-part of this project is supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation SERI. @UZH_en (Image SpaceX)

The Space Hub of the @UZH_en of Zurich and the Ministry of Education of Nevis from the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis participate in the Fram2 mission with their joint experiment „Space Genomics“. Astronaut Rabea Rogge will execute the experiment.

Godspeed, Fram2 on your historic mission highlighting that in a the New Space Age also small nations can go to Space.

Fram2 launched at 03.46 am CEST today. Space Hub Director Oliver Ullrich and Chief Scientist Cora Thiel ready for the handover of the experiment „Space Genomics „

Humans are having a highly detrimental impact on biodiversity worldwide. Not only is the number of species declining, but the composition of species communities is also changing. These are the findings of one of the largest studies ever conducted on this topic.

An immune system defect makes affected individuals vulnerable to severe viral diseases such as influenza or COVID-19. It is caused by the body's own antibodies. UZH researchers have now generated “decoy molecules” that restore the immune defense – the foundation for a possible new therapy. https://t.co/GFI8keGCYn
