Get Involved

Synthetic biology has taught us how to find life on Mars, even if it evolved to be very different from life on Earth. Your donation will help build an Agnostic Life Finder (ALF), an instrument to be offered to SpaceX and others who plan to mine large amounts of water-ice on Mars, which would hold life if it were on Earth.

Help our researchers explore the possibility and answer fundamental questions about life before humans step on the surface of Mars.

We handle the research and engineering of ALF, but we need your support. When you contribute to the design of ALF, you offer us and the world the best chance to uncover life on Mars before humans arrive.
