SpaceRef - Astrobiology and Life Science - NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI)

Astrobiology at the Arizona State University - ASU is a member of the NASA Astrobiology Institute and focuses on research into theorigin, distribution, and evolution of life in the Universe.

Astrobiology at the Carnegie Institution - As a member of the NASA Astrobiology Institute, the Carnegie Institution is leading an interdisciplinary team attack on the nature of hydrothermal systems and their potential roles as habitats for life on Earth and other solar system and extrasolar bodies.

Astrobiology at the University of Washington - he University of Washington's new graduate program in Astrobiology, one of the first in the world, enables students to obtain the interdepartmental background needed for careers in Astrobiology.

Astrobiology at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution - Astrobiology at the Marine Biological Laboratory and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution seeks an understanding about the genotypic/phenotypic evolution of early life forms and how changing environments contributed to the development of complex systems in simple organisms.

Center for Advanced Studies in the Space Life Sciences - A NASA sponsored center at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts

Center for Astrobiology at the University of Colorado - The goals of this department are to train the next generation of interdisciplinary scientists to work in the field of astrobiology and to educate the citizenry of the future in the scientific, technical, and societal aspects of the search for life elsewhere.

Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University - Members of OEB share a primary commitment to training scientists pursuing a greater understanding of the evolution of the earth\'s life processes.

First Astrobiology Workshop - The purpose of this 1996 workshop at NASA Ames Research Center was to identify opportunities for multidisciplinary studies in the new field of astrobiology, and to provide a forum for exchange of information and networking among space, life, and Earth scientists.

Houston Astrobiology Consortium (HAC) - The (HAC) is a group of scientists and public collaborators in the Texas Gulf Coast area with research interests that contribute to the study of Astrobiology. The group presently includes interested individuals from two local universities, (University of Houston and Rice University), Baylor College of Medicine in the Medical Center, and the Johnson Space Center. Specialties include research areas such as chemical evolution, planetary biology, space science and medicine, and the origin and evolution of life.

NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) - Astrobiology is the study of life in the universe. This cross-disciplinary field addresses many fundamental questions concerning the origin, distribution, and future of life in the universe. The NASA Astrobiology Institute represents a partnership between NASA and a number of academic or other research organizations to promote, conduct, and lead integrated multidisciplinary Astrobiology research and train young researchers.

NASA JSC Astrobiology Institute for the Study of Biomarkers - Through research on ancient rocks, modern hot springs, and Mars meteorites, the Institute is dedicated to identifying specific properties of a rock, soil, or other samples which indicate that biological activity is occurring or has occurred.

New York Center for Studies on the Origins of Life, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - Multidisciplinary center with faculty members in astrophysics, biology, chemistry and earth sciences

Penn State Astrobiology Research Center (PSARC) - PSARC's primary mission is to conduct multidisciplinary research and education in Astrobiology.

The Astrobiology Program at NASA ARC - This website at NASA Ames Research Center is the main starting point for working being done on Astrobiology at ARC. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, and distribution of life in the universe.

Tulane Environmental Astrobiology Center - This organization specializes in rotating wall vessels as a culture method to induce re-expression of the receptors for common nephrotoxins in renal cell cultures.

UCLA IGPP Center for Astrobiology - Research is focused on six main themes: (1) extrasolar planetary systems that may be abodes for life; (2) geobiology and geochemistry of early Earth and Mars; (3) paleobiology of Earth's early life; (4) genomic evolution and the tree of life; (5) celestial influences on terrestrial life; and (6) exploration for life in the Solar System using small spacecraft.
