  • Title: The Biotechnology Facility for International Space Station.
    Author: Goodwin T, Lundquist C, Tuxhorn J, Hurlbert K.
    Journal: J Gravit Physiol; 2004 Mar; 11(1):75-80. PubMed ID: 16145813.
    Abstract:
    The primary mission of the Cellular Biotechnology Program is to advance microgravity as a tool in basic and applied cell biology. The microgravity environment can be used to study fundamental principles of cell biology and to achieve specific applications such as tissue engineering. The Biotechnology Facility (BTF) will provide a state-of-the-art facility to perform cellular biotechnology research onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The BTF will support continuous operation, which will allow performance of long-duration experiments and will significantly increase the on-orbit science throughput.
