Session Description
<div class="ag87-crtemvc-hsbk"><div class="css-vsf5of"><p class="carina-rte-public-DraftStyleDefault-block"><span style="color: rgb(29,28,29);">Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) are a major concern for humans living off-Earth. GCRs are extremely high-energy ions from solar winds that form radiation belts in Earth's magnetic field. This intense radiation easily passes through spacecraft and humans alike. For humans, GCRs damage DNA and create potential genetic mutations. In this session, experts on space radiation, longevity, cancer, and gene editing tools will explore potential scenarios where synthetic biology can protect humans from GCR and even expand human lifespan in space.</span></p></div></div>
