ABOUT THIS SESSION

There are two uses of 'astrogenomics', one where genomics takes inspiration from astronomy and another where genomics is integrated with astrobiology and/or space biology. It is all about exploring the genetic makeup of microorganisms that inhabit extreme environments, such as hydrothermal vents, acidic lakes, etc., to better understand life's potential beyond Earth and/or address the health and well-being of astronauts and space travelers. Join us in this session with Dr. Sanjay Kalra and Ms. Aparna Veera on August 21 at 7:00 p.m. to learn more about the topic.
