A full Moon is in view from Launch Complex 39B at NASA鈥檚 Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 14, 2022. The Artemis I Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft, atop the mobile launcher, are being prepared for a wet dress rehearsal to practice timelines and procedures for launch. The first in an increasingly complex series of missions, Artemis I will test SLS and Orion as an integrated system prior to crewed flights to the Moon. Through Artemis, NASA will land the first woman and first p

The Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) at 草榴社区入口 with consortium partners California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced today its selections for the TRISH 2023 fellowship cohort of postdoctoral researchers.
鈥淪upporting the next generation of space health researchers ensures that we will have the best possible data to make evidence-based decisions about managing human systems risk for exploration class missions,鈥 said Dr. Jennifer Fogarty, TRISH鈥檚 chief scientific officer. 鈥淏y investing in TRISH postdoctoral fellows, we鈥檙e investing in future experts who will strive to solve the complex problems and risks associated with human space exploration. We are thrilled to welcome these accomplished early-career scientists to the TRISH community.鈥
TRISH鈥檚postdoctoral fellowship program supports early-career scientists pursuing research with the potential to reduce the health risks associated with spaceflight. Selected fellows will participate in TRISH鈥檚 Academy of Bioastronautics, a mentorship community for space health professionals, and receive a two-year salary stipend.
鈥淧ursuing my postdoctoral training at TRISH has accelerated my career and expanded my research portfolio, enabling me to make new connections and become a more well-rounded scientist,鈥 said Dr. Evan Buettmann, a TRISH third-year postdoctoral fellow at Virginia Commonwealth University. 鈥淗aving completed my Ph.D. in bone regeneration, I didn鈥檛 initially anticipate that my studies would lead me to an academic career in space health. TRISH stood out to me as an excellent place to complete my postdoctoral training, as it鈥檚 at the cutting edge of both space science and medicine and offers extensive mentorship and leadership opportunities.鈥
This year鈥檚 selected fellows are:
Stephanie Dudzinski, M.D., Ph.D.
Extend healthy life in space by characterizing radiation-induced pro-inflammatory response and enhancing wound repair and recovery with radiation- mitigating thrombin peptide
Mentor: Steven Frank, M.D., University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
Adrien Robin, Ph.D.
Effect of deconditioning on-gravitational dose-response curves for cardiovascular and ocular variables in men and women
Mentor: Ana Diaz Artiles, Ph.D., Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station
Katherine Wozniak, Ph.D.
Defining gut microbial changes to space-like radiation to develop a radiation-resistant microbiome
Mentor: Robert Britton, Ph.D., 草榴社区入口
Supported by the NASA Human Research Program, TRISH is an applied space health research catalyst that funds disruptive, high-impact scientific studies and technologies to equip astronauts for deep space exploration.
