CALM Technologies selected as implementation partner for NIH-ISS research programCALM Technologies has been selected as the implementation partner for the NIH/NIAMS BioMED-ISS grant, awarded to Dr. Paola Divieti, M.D., PhD of Massachussets General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. The NIH grant will allow research on Osteocytes to be performed on the International Space Station, through the use of CALM Technologies' eOSTEO bone cell research facility. With the hardware being made available by the Canadian Space Agency for retrofit to the International Space Station, the eOSTEO system will continue the legacy of the OSTEO payload, which flew on two shuttle missions, STS-95 and STS-107. The eOSTEO payload flew Canadian and European research aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket, and orbited for two weeks on the Foton-M3 capsule in September 2007.
