Masters

Malcom Tremblay, BKin - MSc Student (2022): Malcom ’s current research is to understand the reasons why astronauts lose the ability to control their blood pressure when standing, with the intention to apply the findings towards the development of interventions that will conserve an astronaut’s ability to control blood pressure when returning from space.
