The ISS Symposium 2012 was a unique occasion to share scientific research from the Space Station. A showcase of these results could be seen in the ‘ISS Utilisation Exhibition’ at the symposium.
The exhibit gave basic information on experiments conducted in the orbital outpost, leading to spin-offs for the benefit of people on Earth. Industry presented their state-of-the-art products and technologies based on Station research.
The exhibition was divided into five themes with examples of experiments and products for each theme:
- Non-invasive medical diagnostics: 3D Eye Tracking Device, HealthLab, ThermoLab, Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), Galileo Vibration Trainer, Long Term Medical Survey (LTMS), Hand Grip Dynamometer.
- Biomedicine: CAMDASS, Portable Pulmonary Functioning System (PPFS), Robotized Tele-echography, Human Respiratory Analyses (FIPEX), Bone and muscle modelling, Flywheel technology.
- Exobiology & Space Environment: Expose, Matroshka, Solar.
- Material Science: Geoflow, X-Ray diagnostics, Blades & Foams, FOAM-C.
- Biology: KI Biology Experiment Hardware, European Modular Cultivation System (EMCS), Plasma Crystak & Plasma Medicine.

Have you released any documentation on the Biomedicine research to the public? If so, where can I get my hands on it, and if not, I'm sure you have some press releases that can tell me more - I have too many questions for this one blog comment
Do you have anything specific in mind?
You can use the search function on this blog and search for biomedicine or use the categories on the right.
In particular I remember the Kibo being used for biomedicine, have a look at the presentation slides that belong to this speach:

Also, the ISS benefits for humanity pages have a whole section on health: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/ISSBenefits/SEM0BY4Y1ZG_0.html
I hope this helps.
