Engineering Fungal Systems for the Future of Spaceflight
AstroMyco translates fungal biology into practical systems for spaceflight resilience, habitat sustainability, and biological manufacturing beyond Earth.
The Future is Fungi
Research Platforms
Radiation Resilience
We study radiation-tolerant fungi, protective pigments, metabolites, and microbial countermeasures with potential applications in astronaut health, biological systems, and extreme environments.
Extraterrestrial Agriculture
We develop plant–fungus–microbe systems designed to improve crop performance in lunar and Martian regolith analogs and other resource-limited environments.
Fungal Biomanufacturing
We explore fungi as adaptable biological factories for food, enzymes, medicines, nutrients, and other mission-critical products.
Mycelium Materials
We investigate regenerative fungal composites for habitat construction, insulation, shielding, packaging, and in-situ manufacturing.
