The research and resulting paper are titled, “MSC-Based Biological Enhancement for Radiation Exposure: Leveraging MSC’s for Enhanced Radiation Resistance” and were created specifically to understand and then enable a human body to withstand the extended period it will require for a manned mission to Mars and a safe return. Authored by Auragens’ Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. James Utley, and Co-Authored by Auragens’ CEO, Dr. Dan Briggs, the opportunity to be a key component of an incredible opportunity to advance humanity made this an important focus of their research.
“Our genes carried us through Earth’s deepest freezes and have enabled our evolution, against all odds, and they are now yielding to us the capability to become interplanetary,” said Dr. Utley. He continued, “Thanks to the work at Auragens and our understanding of MCS’s, we may finally have the tools to actively shape this next evolutionary step.”
