Space Biology and Space Biotechnology

Space Biology and Space Biotechnology, 1st Edition, edited by Ai-Rong Qian, Xiao Lin, Suryaji Chandrarao Patil, and Hafiz Muhammad Umer Farooq, presents biological concepts and technological applications in non-terrestrial environments. Published by Academic Press in 2025, this book offers background on biological phenomena outside terrestrial gravity across multiple life science subfields.

The content develops thematic scope through distinct organismal subdisciplines, incorporating space microbiology, space botany, space hydrobiology, and space physiology. Progression then shifts toward physiological and physical mechanisms, detailing space molecular cell biology, space developmental biology, space radiation biology, and space biomechanics.

To support analytical investigations, the work outlines the application of artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, and multi-omic techniques in space biology and space biotechnology. These computational tools provide practical context for spaceflight professionals across industry, academia, and government sectors who analyze biological processes during space exploration missions.
