“Biomedical Research Extends to Outer Space: ” NCU Collaborates with Ten Enterprises for Space Biomedical Ground Test Laboratory National Central University (NCU), aiming to foster NCU President Jou Jing-Yang indicated that this collabo- collaboration between biomedical science and space technology, has established the "Space Biomedical Ground Test Laboratory." On October , a signing cere- mony for a memorandum of cooperation was held with ten enterprises. The goal is to join forces with the corpo- rate sector to create a test laboratory conforming to inter- national space station standards. This facility aims to simulate biomedical experiments in space environ- ments, paving the way for future advancements in space biomedical science! Led jointly by Associate Professor Hsu Yi-Chiung from the Department of Biomedical Sciences and Engineering and Director Loren Chang from the Department of Space Science and Engineering at NCU, this laboratory serves as an integrated platform. It enables researchers and indus- tries to collaboratively test, research, and innovate space biomedical-related technologies.
