Space Health Symposium: Space Research & Technologies for Health
Space Health Symposium is the broader initiative of the Space Life Sciences Commercialisation & Research (SPLCR) Workshop series that were intended to delve into current Space Life Sciences research topics such as Space Genomics, Astromedicine and Microgravity Design Thinking. Organised by A*STAR Bioinformatics Institute, A*STAR Bioengineering & Bioimaging Institute, and SSTL, the Symposium will take place online as well as in-person at Sheraton Towers, and will comprise of the 3rd and 4th workshops in the Space Life Sciences Commercialisation & Research (SPLCR) series. This Symposium edition aims to explore space technologies for health and medicine in Singapore’s research communities, and spark discussions that pave the way for collaborations. Registrations have closed.

Space Life Sciences Commercialisation & Research Workshops (SPLCR)
The Space Life Sciences Commercialisation & Research initiative (SPLCR) is a series of virtual workshops intended to deep-dive into current topics in Space Life Sciences and their broad applications on earth.
SPLCR aims to raise awareness of the potential of Space Life Sciences for local research in Singapore’s biomedical & research community, build technical knowledge of existing resources in the Space Life Sciences domain and explore future possibilities in Space Life Sciences Experiments and international collaboration. The workshops will primarily engage the biomedical and space communities in cross-industry conversations and learning, inviting researchers and scientists from public institutions and space industry guests.
