TRISH seeks research proposals to address blood clot risks during spaceflight
By
Molly Chiu
Summary
The Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) at Baylor College of Medicine has issued a new solicitation for proposals to address venous thromboembolism (VTE) — blood clot formation in veins — which poses a critical risk to human spaceflight. The underlying causes of VTE in space are not fully understood, and effective countermeasures are limited, making this a priority area for research to ensure mission safety and crew health.
