AstroFarms
Cultivating Space Dreams
ABOUT US
At AstroFarms, we are pioneering the futureof space exploration through innovative biotechnology. Our mission is to terraform celestial bodies, ensuring the wellbeingof astronauts on Lunar and Martian missions. We focus on microbiome-oriented in situ resource utilization, cultivating specializedplant varieties in regolith simulants. By harnessing microorganisms as biofactories, we aim to provide optimalnutrition for space station inhabitants. Our research extends Life Support Systems, engineering microorganisms to produce essential compounds on demand, including antibiotics and pharmaceuticals. We are committed to optimizing crop-related payload procedures and enhancing supply chain efficiency, ultimately reducing costs and ensuring sustainable food sources for future space colonists. Join us as we cultivate life beyond Earth.

Adriana Gori (nee Błachowicz), PhD, MBA,
Chief Executive Officer
Łukasz Szydłowski, PhD
Chief Technology Officer
Łukasz studied extremophilic life forms since his PhD studies at Cambridge University. Later, he worked with microbial communities capableof generating electricity, studied plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere and "mined" human gut metagenomes, identifying novel functions. He also collaborated with JPL-NASA to characterize novel microorganisms isolated from the International Space Station. He combines the wetlab experience in molecular and synthetic biology, as well as computational expertise in genomics mining and metabolic pathway annotation.
Piotr Wróblewski
Chief Operations Officer
During his career, Piotr has worked in the marketing and sales frontiers in the aviation sector. He has also experience in a start-up creation, being a former CEO of Naiad Water Investments, offering precise irrigation systems. Being space enthusiast, Piotr decided to use his expertise in conquering the space food sector with AstroFarms.
