In the the field of gravitational biology, the Space Biology Research Group of the competence center of Bioscience and Medical Engineering investigates how gravity, one of the fundamental forces of nature, influences living organisms. Since life on Earth has evolved under the constant influence of gravity, biological systems have developed
structural and functional adaptations which are dependent on this force. This research
is aimed to understand how gravity forces regulate physiological processes such as cell function, cell growth, cell development and the overall health of the organism.
