Summary[edit]

Description

Born on June 9, 1946, Dr. Gaffney worked as a visiting senior scientist with the Life Sciences Division at NASA Headquarters from June 1986 to June 1989. He worked with the Operational Medicine group and was associate manager of Biomedical Research as well as program scientist for the D-2 Spacelab mission and the Research Animal Holding Facility. His experience in cardiac research and human physiology caused him to be chosen as a payload specialist on the June 1991 STS-40 Spacelab Life Sciences mission (SLS 1), the first shuttle mission dedicated to biomedical research. In space, Dr. Gaffney studied human cardiovascular adaption to spaceflight, and altogether, the SLS-1 mission completed over 18 experiments during a 9-day period, bringing back more peer-reviewed, published medical data than any previous NASA flight. He is currently a professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University.
