ABOUT DSLS

The Universities Space Research Association's Division of Space Life Sciences (DSLS) supports NASA's needs for understanding and counteracting the physiological changes that accompany space flight. Based at the Center for Advanced Space Studies in Houston, Texas, the DSLS manages extramural research programs, administers educational programs, coordinates a visiting/staff scientist program, and enhances collaboration between NASA and academic institutions through an extensive series of conferences, workshops, and seminars. This USRA division was established in 1983 as the Division of Space Biomedicine and facilitates participation of the university community in biomedical research programs at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC).

A report of DSLS activities for 2005 and 2006 is included here.

This site includes a video archive of talks presented at the UTMB/JSC Aerospace Medicine Residency Program Space Medicine Grand Rounds seminar series. These streaming video presentations require RealPlayer.

Proceedings of recent meetings and conferences coordinated by the DSLS are also included at this site.
