Pioneer Research Laboratories
Our mission is to engineer microbes for Mars. Biology is the ultimate green technology, capable of upcycling waste into food, water, and air: all the essentials for human life. However, today it is too unreliable, untested, and wasteful to be a mission-critical technology. That’s why we’re engineering hardy critters that perform gracefully even in the extreme conditions of space. By doing so, we aim to make biomanufacturing ubiquitous, reliable, and green — on Earth and beyond. We are a nonprofit research organization based in San Francisco, California. We do moonshot marsshot science with an agile, startup-like team.
