Space Biology and Astrobiology Research Team (SBART)
Objective
SBART tries to introduce these novel research areas to junior researchers and encourages graduate students to research on related topics through its focused sub-groups. We have regular meetings, workshops and journal clubs in the fields of Space Biosciences and Astrobiology. _____________________________________________________________________ _______________________Telegram: @SBART_USERN ______________________ ___________________ Instagram: @astrobiogeochemistry_____________________ _____________________________________________________________________
Definition
"Space Biosciences" target basic questions about how space conditions affect biological processes. Space Biologists will probe deep into underlying mechanisms behind the adaptations of different organisms to space flights, respond to altered gravity and radiation, regulate and sustain their growth, metabolism, reproduction, and development. "Astrobiology" also called “Bioastronomy,” is a multidisciplinary field dealing with nature, existence, and search for extraterrestrial life. Astrobiologists try to research on the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life on Earth; they also seek for any signature of life elsewhere in the universe.
