What if you could recreate Mars on Earth? 🚀 Researchers in the lab of Alexandre Rosado @Rosado_AS have built a Planetary Simulation Chamber at KAUST, designed to recreate Mars-like conditions and study how life responds to extreme environments. The insights could help advance both future space exploration and solutions to challenges here on Earth. @WorldSpaceWeek @KAUST_News #WorldSpaceWeek #WSW2026 #SpaceWeek #Astrobiology #SpaceBiology #KAUST

Electronic sensor detects early Parkinson’s markers in blood. Sensor technology developed by KAUST and Oxford detects Parkinson’s-related molecular signals in blood, achieving 90% accuracy in an initial clinical study. The technology simultaneously detects three forms of alpha-synuclein. In a blinded evaluation involving 59 participants, the platform achieved 90.9% accuracy in distinguishing disease-associated profiles from healthy controls. Read more: kaust.news/10jXF
