NASA Ames 2016 Summer Series. Full understanding leads to creation capability, which results in customization capacity. For Human space exploration, synthetic biology approaches will reduce risk, mass carried and increase Human reach.
Synthetic biology uses our knowledge of biology to engineer novel biological devices or organisms that can perform tasks not found in nature. Michael Flynn discusses the International Space Station (ISS) water recycling and his current work on developing a water filtration system capable of self-repair.
