UTMB launches space medicine department, names first leader
Original: UTMB launches new department for space medicine, names inaugural leader
The University of Texas Medical Branch has created a new department dedicated to space medicine and appointed its inaugural leader. The move positions the Galveston-based health institution to train physicians and conduct research for human spaceflight, as commercial and government space missions expand and the medical needs of astronauts draw growing attention in the medical and aerospace communities.
Why now: Spaceflight activity is growing, and academic medicine institutions are racing to build programs addressing astronaut health.
