Graduate Education Program in
Space Life Sciences

NSBRI's Graduate Education Program in Space Life Sciences is conducted jointly at Texas A&M University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology through the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST). The program enables students working toward a Ph.D. at these institutions to focus on space life sciences and experience advanced courses in biomedical science and engineering, specifically as these fields relate to the space program.

The lead investigators at Texas A&M are Joanne Lupton, Ph.D., and Nancy Turner, Ph.D. The lead investigator at MIT is Laurence Young, Sc.D., Sensorimotor Adaptation Team member.
