Is It SADS, or Am I in Space? Medical Considerations for Spaceflight

Sunday, March 30, 2025 with Leroy Chiao, PhD

In this fascinating presentation, Dr Chiao weaves the physiological effects of the space environment with his personal stories and adventures in space. In addition, he discusses the synergy between the development of operational countermeasures and diagnostics for spaceflight, and the creation of healthcare solutions on Earth.

Dr Chiao is a former NASA astronaut and International Space Station commander. He is one of the first astronauts to learn and use ultrasound in space.

Extraterrestrial Medical Care

Sunday, March 30, 2025 with Scott Dulchavsky, MD, PhD

See how ultrasound is an enabling, point-of-care solution to provide diagnostic information for an ever-increasing number of clinical conditions that may occur during spaceflight. Many of the lessons learned in space medicine have and can be transitioned to improve care back on our planet.

Dr Dulchavsky is a professor of surgery, molecular biology, and genetics at Wayne State University School of Medicine and Michigan State University, and a principal investigator for NASA. He is a member of the Space Technology Hall of Fame for his work with ultrasound technologies developed for use in manned space flights that are now adapted for practice on Earth.

Focused Ultrasound: Breaking Barriers in Neurotherapeutics

Monday, March 31, 2025 with Ali R. Rezai, MD

Head of the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute and visionary neurosurgeon, Dr. Ali Rezai, explores the transformative power of focused ultrasound beams in treating Alzheimer's and addiction. Discover how soundwave therapies offer groundbreaking solutions to combating two of society’s most challenging conditions.

Dr Rezia is the Associate Dean of Neuroscience at West Virginia University and Executive Chair and Director of the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute. He is a neuroscience pioneer who has developed treatments for Parkinson's disease and other brain disorders. Dr Rezai’s research has been featured by a range of media outlets including The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, BBC, CBS, CNN, PBS, Good Morning America, 60 Minutes, and others.
