But what about germs and other nasty microorganisms? Cheryl Nickerson wants to know how disease-causing pathogens themselves are affected by space travel. <em>--by Margaret Coulombe</em></p><div class="image-clear"></div><p><a href="http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/05/space_ills_and_earth_cures.html">read more</a></p> http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/05/space_ills_and_earth_cures.html#comments Cheryl Nickerson Homeland Security Margaret Coulombe NASA NIH Research Magazine Spring/summer 2008 Tempe campus Health and Medical Microbiology Life Sciences Physical Sciences and Mathematics Space Studies Thu, 15 May 2008 15:10:15 -0600 pkrecker 812 at http://researchstories.asu.edu http://researchstories.asu.edu/2007/09/super_germs_from_outer_space.html <p>Space flight has been shown to have a profound impact on human physiology as the body adapts to zero gravity environments. New research shows that microbes are affected as well. Space flight may turn normal germs into highly infectious superbugs, according to Cheryl Nickerson. <em>--by Joe Caspermeyer</em></p><p><a href="http://researchstories.asu.edu/2007/09/super_germs_from_outer_space.html">read more</a></p> http://researchstories.asu.edu/2007/09/super_germs_from_outer_space.html#comments ASU Insight Biodesign Institute Cheryl Nickerson Joe Caspermeyer Tempe campus Health and Medical Microbiology Life Sciences Space Studies Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:41:06 -0600 pkrecker 876 at http://researchstories.asu.edu
