James Hury is the Deputy Director and Chief Innovation Officer for the Translational Research Institute for Space Health. In this role, James executes the vision of TRISH leadership to source and seed the most impactful emerging health technologies for NASA’s deep space exploration.

The Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) is empowered by NASA’s Human Research Program to source and seed the best emerging health technologies to support deep space exploration.
