"Personalized Medicine in Human Space Flight" Listed Among Most Influential Papers of 2013 and 2014

Posted on by

"Personalized Medicine in Human Space Flight"byMichael A. Schmidt, Ph.D. andThomas J. Goodwin, Ph.D. was recently featured by Springer Science Media,highlighting the most influential articles of the past two years.

Specifically, "Personalized Medicine in Human Space Flight" was among the three most downloaded scientific papers published in 2013 and 2014 from Springer in the journalMetabolomics. In their paper, theauthors lay out a sophisticated case for how personalized medicine may transform the way humans explore the space environment.

According to Dr. Schmidt, "The ability to analyze the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome has deepened our understanding of the uniqueness of individuals and of how individual vulnerabilities may be further revealed under the extreme conditions of space. We and our colleagues are working to translate this complexity into personalized countermeasure solutions that enhance astronaut safety and performance on specific missions, like the ISS, Moon, and Mars."

Dr. Goodwin states, "There is sufficient evidence to deploy certain personalized countermeasures for astronautstoday. Beyond this, we suggest a path where the space medicine community craft a scientific roadmap aimed at broadening development of personalized countermeasures for the near and far term."

Source: "Personalized Medicine in Human Space Flight: Using Omics Based Analyses to Develop Individualized Countermeasures that Enhance Astronaut Safety and Performance," (Schmidt, MA, Goodwin, TJ. Metabolomics 2013;9(6):1134-1156).

Michael A. Schmidt, Ph.D.is the founder of Sovaris Aerospace, LLC. He has developed Omics training programs atGeorge Washington UniversitySchool Health Sciences and is on the Omics Applications Expert Panel for the European Society for Translational Medicine. Dr. Schmidt has ongoing human performance collaborations at NASA Johnson Space Center and NASA Ames Research Center.His work is focused on human performance in extreme conditions and, also, on translating that work to athletic performance and clinical medicine.

Thomas J. Goodwin, Ph.D.is Manager of the Disease Modeling & Tissue Analogues Laboratory, Biomedical Research and Environmental Sciences Division, and is the Lead Scientist for Oxidative Stress and Damage at NASA Johnson Space Center. He is also the Chair of the Omics Applications Expert Panel for the European Society for Translational Medicine (EUSTM).

Newswise The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine moved up a notch to regain its top 10 status as one of the countrys best medical schools and its primary care program scored its strongest rating since 2010, according to the latest edition of U.S. News & World Reports Best Graduate Schools.

The rankings for 2016 are an improvement over last year when Pritzker placed 11th out of 153 medical schools for research. It placed No. 8 in the 2014 rankings and No. 10 in the 2013 list. Pritzker remains the only school in Illinois to be ranked among the top 10. Meanwhile, its primary care program was tied for the 19th spot. That ranking is up from No. 26 for 2015 and 39 for 2014.

Tuesdays results placed Pritzker in a three-way tie with the University of Michigan and the University of Washington. Harvard University ranked first in the nation, followed by Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, University of California-San Francisco and the University of Pennsylvania. Other schools in the top 10 included Washington University in St. Louis, Yale University, Columbia University and Duke University.

The methodology for the medical school rankings includes scores based on reputation, which is assessed by deans and program directors. Other factors include competitiveness of students, acceptance rates, faculty-student ratios and research funding. The full list of U.S. News medical school rankings is available at usnews.com.

Pritzker was third in the country for the amount of federal research grants it received per faculty member from the National Institutes of Health. Pritzker received an average of $255,800 for each faculty member, behind only Stanford University ($381,800) and New York University ($333,700). Meanwhile, the school was tied with Stanford University as the third-most selective medical school, earning high marks for its median MCAT score, the median undergraduate GPA of its students and its overall acceptance rate. Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Pennsylvania earned higher selectivity scores.

Other programs within the Biological Sciences Division had their 2015 results re-published Tuesday. Last years report said PhD programs in the Biological Sciences Division were ranked 14th in the country. The University of Chicago paleontology program, which draws from the interdepartmental and inter-institutional Committee on Evolutionary Biology, was rated No. 1 in the nation. And the schools Ecology/Evolutionary Biology program tied for 4th. Those rankings will be updated in three years.

### About the University of Chicago Medicine

The University of Chicago Medicine and Biological Sciences is one of the nation's leading academic medical institutions. It comprises the Pritzker School of Medicine, a top 10 medical school in the nation; the University of Chicago Biomedical Sciences Division; and the University of Chicago Medical Center, which recently opened the Center for Care and Discovery, a $700 million specialty medical facility.

Medical school on the agenda

Posted on by

There's a lot riding on this week's meeting of university trustees.

Later this week, University of Illinois trustees will cast a vote that either will embrace the future in a way that could affect thousands maybe even millions of people or timidly step back from a glittering challenge.

It's our hope that trustees will approve Chancellor Phyllis Wise's proposal for a new engineering- and technology-oriented medical school. Planned as a partnership with Carle Hospital, the proposed medical school represents a game-changing concept that could put the local campus in the forefront of what will be a burgeoning field fusing medical education with engineering.

There are questions, of course.

After Wise proposed her plan for the local campus, the UI's Chicago medical school proposed a Translational BioEngineering Institute based in Urbana to work with the local engineering program but making it part of the UIC's College of Medicine.

Then there's the matter of finances. Some might think it counterintuitive that a university facing a cut in state appropriations is proposing a new program of this magnitude. How would it be financed?

There are good answers to those issues of place and process.

But, first, there is the vision of a pioneering program in a hugely important field that creates vast possibilities both human and economic for the local campus, the Champaign-Urbana community and beyond.

The future of medicine lies, at least partly, in the creation of new medical devices that are both lifesaving and cost-effective.

No one can predict exactly what the future holds. But compared to today, it will be unrecognizable, thanks to the relentless march of technology.
