WRAIR presents the effects of space flight on wound healing at the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research

Dr. Aarti Gautam, Stacy Ann Miller, and Allison Hoke, research biologists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, presented on the effects of microgravity on wound healing at the 40th annual American Society for Gravitational and Space Research conference held in December 2024.

Dr. Gautam, Ms. Miller, and Ms. Hoke joined more than 1,000 other researchers and stakeholders at ASGSR, which was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The WRAIR presentations covered multiple space missions that investigated the effects of space flight and low gravity on molecular-level healing that occurs in bone, muscle, and skin injuries.
