"If we are not going to use them for biomedical studies, let's move them to a situation that is attractive to the chimps for retirement."

It covers theoretical modeling, technology development, biomedical studies, and clinical applications pertaining to optics, photonics, and imaging in the life sciences.

Research at the station includes glaciology, geophysics, meteorology, upper atmosphere physics, astronomy, astrophysics, and biomedical studies.

These techniques have been the focus of many biomedical studies aiming to reduce harmful biofilm formation on medical devices, especially catheters.

The station's central justification is biomedical studies.

Graduate studies consist of areas in biomolecular, biomedical, computational and mathematical studies.

STS-40 was the first Spacelab mission dedicated to biomedical studies.

While biomedical studies have recently limited their use of this species, illegal capture for the pet trade still plays a major role in endangering the cotton-top.

But there is only one mission for which the costly station is indispensable: biomedical studies on animals and humans to determine the hazards of long-duration space flight.

The Columbia's mission is the first ever to be devoted solely to biomedical studies of how living things adapt to space.
