The 3rd Annual Microgravity Workshop will be presented by the La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science and the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) from 3 – 5 December 2024 at La Trobe University, Bundoora.
Gravity is the only constantforce that has been present throughout evolution, and it has shaped all life on Earth. Understanding how gravity affects biological systems will not only enhance human space exploration; it will help us understand how to improve life and combat disease on Earth.
Presented by world-renowned gravitational biologist Dr Jens Hauslage (DLR), the workshop offers the unique opportunity to conduct practical experiments, providing essential hands-on experience in microgravity simulation. It will also provide an overview of the impact of gravity on life and the current knowledge on gravity perception in cells, plants and animals.
