TWINS STUDY - PATCH - 5" Fully Embroidered Patch
The Twins Study encompasses ten separate investigators who coordinate and share all data and analysis as one large, integrated research team. The study focuses on four categories of research split into 10 investigations to evaluate identical twin astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly. These investigations provide broader insight into the subtle effects and changes that may occur in spaceflight as compared to Earth. This is done by studying two individuals who have the same genetics, but are in different environments for one year.
Key Points
-
The Twins Study takes the initial step to establish a foundation and methodology to integrate scientists, research and data that may lead to personalized countermeasure packages to optimize the safety and performance of individual astronauts
-
Research techniques used in personalized medicine (technologies such as genetic sequencing) are employed to discern individual responses to the spaceflight environment
-
Research from the molecular level to whole body function to brain function is being integrated together into one, coordinated study
-
-
The Twins Study is a multi-faceted national cooperation between universities, corporations, and government laboratories
-
10 individual investigations
-
12 universities
-
NASA biomedical laboratories
-
National Space Biomedical Research Institute
