​
How can we monitor human health—reliably, continuously, and safely—on Earth and in space?
This one-day workshop brings together researchers, engineers, clinicians, and med-tech/space industry partners to explore biosensors for space medicine and terrestrial healthcare. Expect practical talks, real-world case studies, and open discussions on hardware, validation, data pipelines/AI analytics, and pathways to flight and clinical use. The day concludes with a networking session to spark collaborations across labs, hospitals, and industry.
Academics (life sciences, engineering, data/AI), clinicians, med-tech and space companies, students, and anyone curious about translating biosensing from bench to bedside—and into orbit—are warmly invited.

Kate Kitagawa & Saimon Moraes Silva, LIMS (La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science)
