Kilian Dekoninck

Role : Crew Commander
Studies : Microbial Biochemistry
Email : kdekoninck@ucltomars.org

Graduated as a Bio-Engineer. I have started a PhD program in Microbiology and Biochemistry. Although I am highly passionate about the microscopic world, I always had a deep interest in the mysteries of the universe. This mission is the occasion to show how bacteria will allow humanity to explore space.

Kilian’s project :
Study of the survival of human flora bacteria as well as efficacy of several antibiotics under Martian environmental conditions.

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.
