Abstract
There are four life science projects in office of ISS science project. One of them is the radiation biology. In this project, there are 4 teams (3 teams have been selected by the life science international announcement of opportunity and one is a JEM first selected-experiment. On flight schedule of the space shuttle, Japanese experiment module (JEM) in ISS will be launched in 2008 from the later half of 2007, and first space experiment of fundamental biology will start after the latter half of 2008. In life science experiment in space, influences of low dose exposure and micro gravity on living organism have become the major subject.
At this symposium, targets, expected results of each team of the radiation biology project planned in space experiments for an early phase utilization of JEM will be reported with profiles of each experiment, and development to the future will be discussed.
