Building Humanity's Future in Space: Why Synthetic Biology Matters - Yassin Chafik

🚀 How do we sustain life on the Moon, Mars, and beyond? The answer isn't just better rockets—it’s smarter biology. Welcome to Week 1 of the EUSynBioS Space Festival! In this inaugural keynote, festival architect Yassin Somoue Chafik (iGEM Space Mayor & EUSynBioS Outreach Coordinator) maps out the fundamentals of space synthetic biology. What you'll learn: • Adapting Earth-born biology to microgravity & extreme space environments • Plant synbio & metabolic engineering to feed and support astronauts • How student innovations & iGEM are building the off-world bioeconomy #SyntheticBiology #SpaceExploration #iGEM #EUSynBioS #Biotech
