Dr. Luis Zea (University of Colorado Boulder) is the Principal Investigator for the Deep Space Radiation Genomics (DSRG) study, one of four studies under NASA’s Biological & Physical Sciences Division’s Biological Experiment-01 (BioExpt-01) aboard Artemis I. This investigation will pioneer scientific discovery by studying yeast cells to determine which genes provide cells with a higher probability of survival and the types and doses of radiation experienced beyond the Van Allen Belts surrounding Earth.
