This year’s Cleveland National Air Show at Burke Lakefront Airport was headlined by the USAF Thunderbirds Jet Demonstration Team. These exceptional pilots routinely provide inspiring displays of elite aviation for the American public. The Thunderbirds graciously provided several members of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics with VIP tickets to the Cleveland National Air Show.
Tommy Blossom was awarded The Mark Smith Outstanding Research Performance Prize for his time within the Dr. Decker/Dr. Damato laboratory for demonstrating great interest, dedication, initiative and involvement in all research activities.
Students can now earn a masters degree in medical physiology along with a certificate in aerospace physiology. Students should apply to the Masters In Medical Physiology program and the Certificate in Aerospace Physiology.

As part of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics Inaugural Symposium for the Center for Aerospace Physiology, Dr. Jay Dean presented a seminar entitled "Winning the physiological air war of 1939-1945: the history of aero medical research and practices in America during WW2" on Tuesday, April 30 at 12:00 noon in SOM E-501.
Dr. Dean is a Professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Military and Emergency Medicine at the College of Medicine at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
We are pleased to announce the Inaugural Symposium for the Center for Aerospace Physiology to be held at Case Western Reserve University on April 29-30, 2019. The Center for Aerospace Physiology is housed within the Department of Physiology & Biophysics, at the School of Medicine. Our team of multidisciplinary scientists collaborate closely with flight surgeons and aerospace physiologists from NASA, the USAF and USN to develop new strategies enabling humans to live and thrive within austere environments on earth, the upper atmosphere, and beyond.
