Plant SynBio for Space
- Public Event
This webinar is the first in a series on Space Nutrition and Health that will explore the latest advancements in the field of plant synthetic biology and how it can help us develop sustainable nutritious food sources and health products for space exploration. Expert-led discussions will touch on topics such as the engineering of plants for space habitats, the production of high-value molecules using plant- based systems, and the challenges and opportunities for using plant synthetic biology in space missions. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from leading scientists and engage in discussions about the potential applications of plant molecular foundries for space nutrition and health.
All sessions are free to attend and open to the public.
This event is co-hosted by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) and the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH).
