Detailed Biography of Bernard Harris
|
|
Bernard A. Harris, Jr., M.D. is an accomplished astronaut, physician and businessman. He is the first African-American to walk in space. Selected by NASA in 1990, Harris was a Mission Specialist on the Space Shuttle Columbia STS-55/Spacelab D-2 in 1993. As Payload Commander on Space Shuttle Discovery STS-63 in 1995, he served on the first flight of the joint Russian-American Space Program. At the time of his retirement from NASA in 1996, he had logged more than 438 hours in space and traveled over 7.2 million miles. Equally as impressive as his space career, Harris has developed a broad range of business talents. Currently, Harris is president and founder of The Harris Foundation, which supports math/science education and crime prevention programs for America’s youth and president and CEO of Vesalius Ventures, a unique venture capital vehicle solely dedicated to funding the development of new technologies in order to advance the world of telemedicine.
Harris holds a bachelor of science in Biology from the University of Houston, a master of medical science from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, an MBA from the University of Houston and a doctorate of medicine from Texas Tech University School of Medicine. He completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic, a National Research Council Fellowship in Endocrinology at the NASA Ames Research Center and trained as a Flight Surgeon at the Aerospace School of Medicine, Brooks Air Force Base. Throughout his career, he has received numerous awards and recognition, including the election as Fellow of the American College of Physicians and is a recipient of the Horatio Alger Award.
