University of Central Florida BEEAST study
This study is looking at how extreme environments or unusual travel (like space or Antarctica) might affect health and genetics. It compares people in those situations with their family members and the general public.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You either travel or live in extreme environments like space or Antarctica, are a family member of someone who does, or are part of the general public
- You are not currently a prisoner
- You are able to give your own consent to join

This study collects blood, saliva, or other biospecimens and health information from people with certain medical conditions. Your samples and data will help researchers better understand diseases and develop new treatments.
This study collects and stores your biological samples so researchers can use them for future environmental health questions. You might join if you’re an adult, can travel for visits, and agree to have your samples stored for later use.
This study collects and analyzes your donated samples (like blood or other biospecimens) to look for patterns in genes and proteins. The results may help researchers understand disease biology and improve future tests or treatments.
This study creates a storage bank of biological samples like blood, stool, and tissue. Researchers will use these samples to learn how the body interacts with the natural microbes that live in and on us, which may help improve treatments for many diseases.
This study looks at how your genes and your environment may affect your health. It may help researchers better understand who is most at risk so future prevention and care can be more personalized.
This study collects blood and other samples from healthy volunteers, children, and people with infectious diseases to help advance research. If you join, you may donate blood, urine, or skin samples that will be stored and used in future studies.
