MIT Aerospace Physiology Lab
MIT Aerospace Physiology Lab
The Aerospace Physiology Lab is a clinical physiology lab in the Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute Technology. APL is interested in how the brain, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems respond to stressful physical conditions
Our Members
Our team combines expertise in physiology, aerospace engineering, data science, human performance, and flight operations to study how humans respond to aviation and spaceflight.
Our research
Our research spans spaceflight and aviation, using lower body negative pressure to study cardiovascular stress in space and developing physiology-informed tools for medical evacuation.
