2024年4月4日(四)08:00 | Morning Coffee, Pastries and Networking in the Exhibit Hall | 09:00 | ![Michael Roberts](./images/Michael-Roberts20235214.jpg) | Keynote Presentation Biomanufacturing and In-Space Production Applications on the ISS National Lab Michael Roberts, Chief Scientific Officer, International Space Station National Laboratory, United States of America
NASA and the ISS National Laboratory are enabling the commercial development of low-Earth orbit by sponsoring both fundamental research and the in space manufacturing of advanced materials and biological products that improve life on Earth. As the International Space Station continues to offer access to the unique benefits of a microgravity laboratory, producing breakthrough research as well as new and improved products and technologies, it is also pioneering the path forward for the transition to commercially LEO platforms. |

Understanding the impact of long-term exposure of microorganisms to
space is critical in understanding how these exposures impact life
during extended human missions. Here, we subjected Nostoc sp. CCCryo
231-06, a cyanobacterium capable of surviving in extreme conditions, to a
23-month stay at the International Space Station (BIOMEX, on the
EXPOSE-R2 platform) and returned it to Earth for single-cell whole
genome analysis. We used a microfluidic platform to isolate single
cells, and amplify femtograms of DNA in a precisely controlled manner
with minimal contamination, and sequenced their whole genome to identify
the genomic changes in single Nostoc cells. The variant profile showed
that biofilm and photosystem associated loci were the most altered, with
an increased variant rate of synonymous base pair substitutions. We
concluded that the combined effect of complex cosmic radiation and UV
exposure may result in synergistic damage effects, with a higher number
of synonymous variants with simultaneous exposure to cosmic and UV
radiations. The cause(s) and evolutionary implications of the non-random
synonymous genomic substitutions observed at the single cell level
under long-term cosmic exposure warrants further investigation, and may
revolutionize our views on how evolution occurs at the single cell, and
also population level. |

Biomanufacturing at scale in space is not today but it will be in the future. Using 3D bioprinters and automated crystallization systems with real time data, biomanufacturing is poised to have a breakthrough in microgravity. This talk will focus on the technology and possibilities of today on ISS and what the future holds on CLDs for true scale biomanufacturing in small and large molecule crystallization and 3D bioprinting. |
