Nature Research and NASA partner for a new Nature conference on the Microbiome of the Built Environment (MoBE)
2018-06-18
Nature Research and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will be convening a new conference designed to guide NASA’s approach to interaction with and control of the Microbiome of the Built Environment (MoBE) of future spacecraft including transports, habitats, landers, rovers and spacesuits.

Taking place at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston in the summer of 2019, this three-day event will help to shape NASA’s microbiological research goals. Information for people interested in participating will be provided soon.

Microorganisms are everywhere, including built environments like spacecraft, and can affect crew health and the integrity of their spacecraft. This conference will help NASA understand the abundance, type, and characteristics of the varieties of microbes found in spacecraft to mitigate problems that could occur during space exploration and capitalise on opportunities to control the spacecraft microbiome for the benefit of long-term space exploration.

Nature Research and NASA will bring together scientific, medical, and engineering experts for presentations and panel discussions about the type of microbiological research that should be undertaken to enable and enhance spaceflight operations. Findings from this event will be made available to the public later that year.

The conference steering committee includes NASA scientists Dr. Mark Ott, Dr. David Tomko, Dr. Anthony Hickey, Dr. Ruth Siboni, and Dr. Kasthuri Venkatswaran, Nature Microbiology Chief Editor Dr. Andrew Jermy, NPJ Executive Editor Dr. Rebecca Kirk and Dr. Cheryl Nickerson, who is both a leading spaceflight scientist and Editor-in-Chief of Nature Research journal, NPJ Microgravity.
