Day 095, orbit 1474 — This large piece of equipment is the Life Science Glovebox, located in the Japanese Kibo module. It is a sealed laboratory workspace in which we can safely handle biological samples that require a high level of containment. A contaminated atmosphere is one of the main risks we face aboard the Station, but it’s just as important to make sure we don’t contaminate the research!
In this picture, I’m processing blood stem‑cell samples, helping scientists better understand how we could produce larger quantities of clinical‑grade stem cells in space. This biotechnology research aims to improve stem-cell quality, with potential benefits for the treatment of blood diseases and cancer. It may also open up new opportunities for commercial research in orbit. Space research, playing its part in advancing science. Go science!
Congrats to the teams, especially Blake, Brandon, Chen, Jim, Maddie, Max, @pinar_mesci, Raquel,Tan, Trystin and @YupengChen_PhD!
