Spacebio Lab

This project aims to semantically enrich the SpaceBio platform's data by applying Knowledge Graph methodologies, aligning with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). By integrating semantic web technologies, the platform will facilitate more efficient data discovery and interoperability, enhancing its accessibility to researchers and society at large. This initiative promotes advanced knowledge dissemination in space biology, fostering innovation and collaboration in the scientific community.

This project offers an interactive dashboard focused on analyzing trends and identifying emerging opportunities in human space exploration. By gathering and visualizing data from multiple sources, the dashboard highlights significant advancements and research gaps, enabling users to make data-driven decisions about future space missions. With an intuitive interface, the tool allows for easy exploration of various aspects, such as space biology, technological innovations and mission objectives, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the landscape of human space exploration.

As part of an educational activity developed in partnership with the Spacebio project, I conducted an exam in the "preprint draft paper" format for PhD Candidate, MSc. Alexia Fernandes, aimed at stimulating critical thinking about advanced applications, such as the use of plant growth-promoting microorganisms in space. The activity challenged the candidate to explore the potential of reverse ecology and microorganism prospecting to support plant cultivation in space environments, such as the International Space Station (ISS). The task was inspired by Alexia's suggested paper, titled "Prospecting Plant Growth-Promoting Microorganisms in Space through Computational Approaches", fostering a practical connection between research and innovation.

Magnetic fields influence biological processes in living organisms, offering innovative therapeutic possibilities. Studies highlight applications in treating emotional conditions and physical illnesses, with a focus on portable devices that could popularize home-based magnetic therapies. This approach promises accessibility and advancements in integrative health care.

Our project aims to bridge the digital divide by donating computers to underserved communities, providing them with access to the SpaceBio platform and innovation hub. By empowering individuals with technology, we foster collaboration, creativity, and engagement in cutting-edge scientific initiatives. This initiative is a step toward creating inclusive opportunities for everyone to contribute to advancements in space biology and beyond.

We proudly support the Nova Vida (New Life) soccer team in the Nova Viçosa community, Viçosa-MG, with the donation of new uniforms to enhance their identity and teamwork. This initiative aims to empower local athletes, foster community pride, and inspire young talents to pursue their goals on and off the field. Together, we are strengthening connections and promoting the transformative power of sports in the community.
