The Biology team is SSI's fourth project team, focusing on the intersection between the life sciences and space. The Biology Mycorockets project is building completely biodegradable rockets using mycelium. The Astropharmacy project is working on designing a plasmid to transform Bacilis to create a peptide drug in space.
The Biology team began work on its pilot project, building a portable, autonomous DNA Synthesizer to send to space, in the 2016-2017 academic year.
The Biology team works in the Shriram Center for Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering, using the Uytengsu Teaching Lab space. The Biology team is exploring other project ideas, particularly relating to astronaut life support, biomaterials for space use, and terraforming for space colonization.
The Biology Team's Faculty Advisor is Professor Hawa Thiam.
