Human Research Open-Access Datasets

Explore and access human research data. These datasets contain bedrest analog studies from the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). Inverted bedrest studies mimic fluid shifts experienced in microgravity.

UTMB Bedrest Campaign 1

These investigations were among the first to simulate microgravity's effects on the human body via a head-down-tilt bedrest protocol.

UTMB Bedrest Campaign 3

Following Campaign 1, these head-down-tilt bedrest studies investigated and explored new research areas, simulated microgravity’s effects on bones, the cardiovascular system, neurology, and more.
