BIT 667 : AstroBiotechnology class is a graduate-level class, students are expected to participate in hands-on space biotechnology research. Students must work in a team (maximum of 2 persons/team) to develop provocative ideas and tangible prototypes that show how biotechnology could be used in space environment. Students would have access to the research facility of the FREAK Lab located on the sixth floor of the Bio-process innovation building (BRI), KMUTT. Please contact Professor Werasak for any questions : werasak@pdti.kmutt.ac.th
