NASA Astrobiology Institute - A partnership between NASA and other research organizations to conduct and lead integrated multidisciplinary research in astrobiology, the study of life in the universe.
A member of NASA's Astrobiology Institute. The Arizona State University program studies the origin, evolution, and distribution of life in the solar system.
Seeks an understanding about the evolution of early life forms and how changing environments contributed to the development of complex systems in simple organisms.
Located in the Astrophysics Branch of the Space Sciences Division at NASA's Ames Research Center. Specializes in the study of extraterrestrial materials and their analogs.
Based at Macquarie University, the centre includes astrobiologists from around Australia. The ACA is Australia's international member of the NASA Astrobiology Institute.
The Centre aims to combine the expertise of astronomers, biochemists, and microbiologists to enable us to answer the age-old question: where did we come from?
A private, nonprofit organization engaged in basic research and advanced education in biology, astronomy, and the earth sciences. Part of the NASA Astrobiology Institute.
An educational site based on a textbook that follows the evolution of the Universe "from big bang to humankind." Hosted by the Wright Center at Tufts University.
Studies the history of life on earth as well as the role the biota continue to play in shaping modern environments though exploring molecular evolution.
Provides a channel of information for scientists, educators and other persons interested in life sciences as they relate to planetary science and space exploration.
The NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training at the New York Center for Studies of the Origins of Life. A partnership with RPI and SUNY-Albany.
TERC and NASA are developing an interdisciplinary, year-long course for middle and high school students using astrobiology as its unifying, underlying structure.
The joint venture between Tulane Medical Center and NASA studies the effects of space travel upon the human body as well as the use of microgravity to study basic biological phenomena.
The University of Washington's graduate certificate program enables students to obtain the interdepartmental background necessary. Focus is on Earth's extreme microbial environments.
Science@NASA article on an experiment designed for students of all ages to investigate life in extreme environments and to learn about the possibilities for life elsewhere in the Solar System. (January 13, 1999)
