OSDR Chats with Konstantinos Adamopoulos on His Latest Publication

Welcome to OSDR Chats, an interview series featuring authors of OSDR-enabled publications. Researchers share highlights and insights into their work, emphasizing the valuable roles played by Open Science data systems and the Analysis Working Groups (AWGs) in their research. This newest interview features PhD candidate Konstantinos Adamopoulos (at the National Technical University of Athens), sharing insights on his publication “NASA GeneLab derived microarray studies of Mus musculus and Homo sapiens organisms in altered gravitational conditions”.

One of the most notable challenges for deep space exploration is understanding how different gravitational conditions affect the human body. Space travel impacts many body systems, including muscles and the immune system, and so research on gene expression data from mice and humans can provide key insights. This publication presents some common genetic changes in mice and humans under altered gravity, but also reports current limitations to how much the results overlap.

OSDR recently spoke to Konstantinos to hear about the highlights of this publication and about how the Open Science data systems and Analysis Working Groups (AWGs) enabled this publication.
