The Bio-Space Age: Transplanetary Habitats and On-demand Medicine/Food

<div class="ag87-crtemvc-hsbk"><div class="css-vsf5of"><p class="carina-rte-public-DraftStyleDefault-block"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Synthetic biology can be an immensely powerful tool for off-world living. From food to medicines to habitat maintenance, biology could sustain us long-term on orbit or on other worlds. But we are still a long way from achieving this vision. As the first commercial space stations take flight, what role will biology play in off-world habitation? What could we learn from experiments in microgravity that can drive innovation and sustainability on Earth?</span></p></div></div>
