Ngo is one of 12 graduate students and 146 undergraduates from the College of Medicine\u2019s Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences who walked in Friday\u2019s commencement ceremony on their journey to careers in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/health-and-human-performance\/\">healthcare<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/research\/\">scientific research<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ngo was one of the first UCF students selected for a NASA fellowship that allows students to work alongside scientists to advance NASA\u2019s Artemis program to send humans to the moon for the first time since 1972.<\/p>\n<p>Under the mentorship of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/college\/medicine\/\">College of Medicine<\/a> Professor Melanie Coathup and biomedical scientists at the Johnson Space Center in Texas, Ngo focused his research on protecting the bone health of astronauts, using a nanoparticle that can help mitigate osteoporotic bone loss that typically occurs during space flight. This experience saw him spending his summers interning at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston working alongside NASA experts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe highlight of my experience at NASA was the opportunity to learn from not only leading NASA scientists but other students of [various] fields of study and backgrounds, Ngo says. \u201cNot only was I able to advance research for the Artemis (1) mission, but my work focusing on the bone health of astronauts will also translate into developing therapies to help treat osteoporotic bone loss seen on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While at NASA, Ngo helped establish research opportunities for other UCF students and also connected UCF faculty with NASA scientists who are exploring future collaborations. His mentors at NASA were so impressed with his work that they have invited him to return for an additional 16-week contract next spring while he applies for medical school. He plans to apply his knowledge and newfound passion for bone health as an orthopedic trauma surgeon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal is to continue to engage in research throughout medical school and throughout my career as a physician,\u201d Ngo says. \u201cI want to make an impact in academic medicine and be able to translate our discoveries into practical solutions for patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coathup, a biomedical engineer who specializes in bone health, says mentoring Ngo was a positive experience, calling her mentee proactive, self-motivated and hardworking, and saying she is excited for his future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the years, I have mentored many students, and Chris is high up on my list of remarkable students,\u201d Coathup says. \u201cI am highly enthusiastic about his future potential. I expect his contributions and ongoing work will continue to be exemplary, and I look forward to all he will accomplish in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A UCF, Ngo was the recipient of 2023 Order of Pegasus, the university\u2019s highest student award, and was also a grand finalist in the Global Sustainability Space Challenge 2022, a competition where students from around the world propose research projects that integrate space sciences into global solutions for Earth and humankind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After working on a NASA project to
