She is a professor (PhD) and researcher in molecular Biology, and a former US astronaut.

Millie Hughes-Fulford (born December 21, 1945) was an astronaut for one mission, serving as Medical Payload Specialist on the first biological Spacelab flight aboard the space shuttle Columbia (STS-40, June, 1991). She has since performed and designed biological studies for space flight, including those involving bone cells and immune cells, since changes in these cells occur in microgravity (weightless) conditions.
