missions beyond low Earth orbit will require the development of technologies that minimize launch mass and resupply costs, while providing a high degree of reliability and self-sufficiency. Currently, the Closed-Loop Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) on the International Space Station (ISS) consists of subsystems that enable humans to live and work in the space environment.<br><br>The Bioengineering Branch (SCB) works collaboratively with other NASA centers to maintain the current ECLSS on the ISS. It is also developing the next generation of regenerative technologies to enable humans to live beyond low Earth orbit for extended periods.\u00a0 Research expertise and technology development areas include atmosphere revitalization and trace contaminant control, water recovery, and logistics reduction including solid waste management, in situ resource utilization, and synthetic biology.<br><br>The ongoing research and development efforts are integral to achieving the ambitious goals of space exploration. By pioneering advanced life support systems and biotechnologies, we are paving the way for sustainable human presence beyond low Earth orbit. In addition, these technologies can be transferred to terrestrial applications to enhance life here on Earth.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/ames\/space-biosciences\/bioengineering-branch\/scb-staff\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary link-external-true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"section-heading-md\">\n                                Meet the Team <span class=\"usa-sr-only\">about Bioengineering Branch<\/span>                            <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-5 padding-left-0 desktop:padding-left-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row margin-bottom-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important padding-top-2 margin-right-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\">Branch Chief<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0\">Yasaman Shirazi<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important padding-top-2 margin-left-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\">Deputy Branch Chief<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0\">Vacant<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important padding-top-2 margin-right-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\"><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important padding-top-2 margin-left-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\"><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-card-grid padding-top-7 padding-bottom-3 padding-x-0 hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-card-grid\">\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-card-grid-header grid-container grid-container-block\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row flex-align-start margin-bottom-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desktop:grid-col-8 margin-bottom-2 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"section-heading-sm line-height-sm\">Research and Technology Development Capabilities Areas<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desktop:grid-col display-flex flex-align-center desktop:flex-justify-end\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row grid-gap-2\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-card-grid-cards grid-container grid-container-block\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-cards-included grid-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-card-custom hds-card color-carbon-black display-flex flex-column margin-bottom-5 mobile:grid-col-12 tablet:grid-col-6 desktop:grid-col-4 margin-bottom-6\"><div class=\"hds-card-inner\"><div class=\"hds-card-thumbnail hds-card-hover-zoom-image margin-bottom-2 bg-carbon-black\"><figure class=\"hds-media-background  \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/16808.png?w=1024\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1.1);
