MS 033 Brandeis University 415 South Street Waltham, Massachusetts 02453-2728 USAThe Ashton Graybiel Spatial Orientation Laboratory opened at Brandeis University on Oct. 20, 1982, with a two-day symposium on Achieving Manned Orbital Flight, Physiological Changes in Manned Space Flight, the Space Shuttle, and Man's Future in Space. Among the many speakers present were Charles Stark Draper, William E. Thornton, Lawrence Dietlein, Gordon Fullerton, and the Graybiel Lab's director, James Lackner. The generous material, financial and unswerving moral support by Dr. Lawrence F. Dietlein, deputy director of life sciences at NASA's Johnson Space Center, made the Ashton Graybiel Spatial Orientation Laboratory at Brandeis possible. The first experimental devices in the Graybiel Lab in 1982 included a short-arm centrifuge, a z-axis recumbent rotation device, a rotary treadmill enclosed in an optokinetic drum, and a Skylab rotating litter chair. Since the lab's inaugural opening, more than 20 major pieces of equipment have been designed and constructed or acquired for experiments. The largest of the experimental apparatuses in the lab is the 22-foot diameter rotating room, the only facility in the United States that can be used to simulate artificial gravity environments. The rotating room is used extensively and is at the center of many experiments studying the effects artificial force environments have on the neurocontrol of movement, posture, and orientation of the human body. Today, the Ashton Graybiel Spatial Orientation Laboratory comprises more than 20 Brandeis University faculty members, researchers, staff and students drawn from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds and academic and professional experiences.

The Contract Research Map is owned and maintained by Scientist.com. It was created to help researchers in the life sciences identify and connect with contract research organizations (CROs) based on geography. Updated nightly, this map features all of the available CROs within our network, so you can order services with a few clicks. Click on a specific country, scroll on the map itself or type into the search bar at the top—there are many ways to find the location and suppliers that you’re looking for. From Argentina to New Zealand, use this map to connect with a CRO near you.
We believe that every researcher across the world should be able to connect with the thousands of global CROs that exist and have the opportunity to work together. Like many industries,the life science supply chain has been disrupted over the last year. But there are many other circumstances such as international customs regulations or sensitive shipping times that create limitations around which countries are feasible to partner with. Sometimes, finding a CRO based in a country that best suits your research needs is imperative. We hope this contract research map allows you to find the right partner in the right place at the right time.
