Obtain a Certificate in Space Life Sciences while pursuing your Ph.D. at Texas A&M University in Kinesiology, Nuclear Engineering (Health Physics), or Nutrition! The Ph.D. Training Program in Space Life Sciences was created to produce scientists with a broad understanding of the critical issues associated with long duration space flight and specific expertise in critical problem areas such as:
1. bone loss
2. muscle wasting
3. health effects of cosmic radiation
4. changes in metabolism and
5. the consequences of being in a catabolic state while in space.
In addition, students will gain the specific training in either nutritional and/or exercise physiology countermeasures against these major biological problems. Located a little over 100 miles from NASA/Johnson Space Center, students will have the unique opportunity to work with world leaders in space life sciences.
