The American Society for Gravitational and Space Biology (ASGSB), founded
in 1984, provides a forum to foster research, education and professional
development in the multidisciplinary fields of gravitational and space
biology. ASGSB brings together a diverse group of scientists and engineers
to encourage an exchange of ideas bridging basic and applied biological
research in space and gravitational sciences. The members represent
academia, government, and industry interests bonded by a common
issue - how living organisms respond to gravity and the many related
broad-reaching questions regarding biological presence in
extraterrestrial environments. The society's mission also
includes education and outreach.
The Vision of ASGSB is to advance biological research in, of and for
space by bringing together professional communities spanning
gravitational and radiation biology, bioastronautics and astrobiology,
and mentoring the future scientific and engineering leaders in
these fields.
