I graduated with a master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences and am currently pursuing my studies with a PhD in microbiology at the ”Louvain Drug Research Institute”. I am also a teaching assistant in molecular and cellular biology in the Medicine faculty.
Study of the survival of human flora bacteria as well as efficacy of several antibiotics under Martian environmental conditions.
When we will colonize Mars, we will not come alone: the microorganisms of the intestinal, oral, cutaneous flora, etc. will accompany us. It is therefore essential to predict what type of microorganisms in these floras would be able to survive and colonize Mars. Audrey proposes to carry out experiments to study the survival of some human flora bacteria and the efficacy of several antibiotics under Martian environmental conditions found on the mission site.
