Space Shuttle

You may think that all of NSU's research is grounded here on Earth; that's not exactly the case. Undergraduates have been able to get in on research experiments that actually took place on board NASA’s Endeavor space shuttle,  where microgravity research is important for the potential gain in scientific and technological information, particularly in the biomedical and drug-development fields.

"The idea of conducting an experiment in space fascinates me. Although the reaction under study is rather simple, (it) offers insight into the role gravity plays. That can help us better understand other processes." Heidi Mederos, Biology Student.
