Eran gave a talk on whole-cell modeling at the Advancing Space Biotechnology through Whole-Cell Models and Functional Annotation Hybrid Workshop, hosted by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR).

The event took place March 17–18, 2025, at the Basic Research Innovation Collaboration Center (BRICC) in Arlington, Virginia. The workshop brought together experts in computational biology, synthetic biology, space science, and bioinformatics to explore how predictive whole-cell models can accelerate biotechnology innovation in space. Eran presented the lab’s work on modular and multiscale simulations of microbial systems, and discussed how whole-cell models can be used to understand gene function and adaptation to space environments.
