UCF researchers are playing key role in discovering the health impacts of space travel. 🚀 🩺
College of Medicine scientists were awake at 2 AM on Saturday, processing blood, saliva and urine samples from soon-to-be space adventurers who will be orbiting across Earth’s North and South Poles for the first time in aviation history on the Fram2 spaceflight - potentially exposing them to more cosmic radiation than other space flights.
How will this affect the health of the space travelers` blood chemistry, genetics, cellular functions, muscle and bone density? And what can it teach us about the affects of space travel on the body?
That`s what UCF researchers are hoping to discover.

The Fram2 spaceflight scheduled to take off Monday is the first crewed flight orbiting over Earth’s polar regions, offering unprecedented opportunities for space medicine research according to UCF’s Dr. Emmanuel Urquieta, an internationally recognized expert in space medicine. 🚀 🩺
Because of the polar orbit, the four astronauts could be exposed to radiation similar to what Apollo astronauts faced 50 years ago. But today, new medical technologies will allow us to learn more than ever about space travel’s effect on the body.
“These findings will help shape health strategies for future lunar and deep space missions,” Urquieta says.

Glen Salow believes medical innovation is the key to bringing hope and health to the planet. That’s why he’s investing in UCF’s College of Medicine.
Together, he and his wife Rosemary first began supporting the medical school because they wanted to provide more UCF-trained physicians to the community, who would be able to pick their specialty based on their passions, rather than the need to pay off huge medical school debt. Now, he is setting his sights toward how technology and medicine can come together to improve lives.
“I know this sounds lofty, but we are at a junction where technology and medicine coming together can address the most basic problems that plague the world,” Salow says.
Today, the Salows have now committed $6 million to the College of Medicine, including $1 million to foster medical technology that will improve physician education, research and patient care.

The UCF College of Medicine Class of 2025 earned a 100% placement rate!
Nationwide, UCF students are going to residency programs at programs including Baylor, Brown, Cleveland Clinic, Emory, Johns Hopkins, USC and Vanderbilt, with 44 doing all or part of their residency training in Florida.
One matched student, J.D. Shwartzman began his medical career journey through a chance meeting with an orthopedic surgeon while in 7th grade. After accidentally walking into his career lecture, was the only teenager who wasn’t “grossed out” by the surgical photos. He went home that night and told his parents he was going to become an orthopedic surgeon. Today, he matched into orthopedic surgery, one of the nation’s most competitive specialties, at Baylor.
Congratulations to all the students who matched today!
