About Us

BioServe Space Technologies is a non-profit, NASA-sponsored Research Partnership Center (RPC) located at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado. The Center, founded by Dr. Marvin Luttges at CU along with Dr. Terry Johnson at Kansas State University, was established in October 1987. Dr. Louis Stodieck has been the Director since 1999.

Our MISSION is to develop new or improved products through space life science research in partnership with industry, academia and government.

Our VISION is to be recognized worldwide as a major leader in expanding the space frontier by developing valuable life science applications using the unique environment of space to create breakthroughs that benefit humanity.

BioServe’s charter is to foster commercial interest in the space program. This typically implies using knowledge gained in space for creating or improving terrestrial applications, but may also lead to future products that have sufficient value to warrant manufacturing aboard a space platform with subsequent return to Earth for sale.

The weightless environment of space flight allows scientists to better understand gravity-dependent biological phenomena. Investigations focus on how the space environment can be used as a commercially viable tool, eventually becoming a "value added" factor for a commercial product or process.
