The mission of Scientarius institute is to spark and increase the curiosity of our species to explore science itself, to explore our planet and universe.
Scientarius Institute wants to encourage, inspire and empower all age groups to discover and use scientific knowledge to deepen our understanding of our universe.

Our general goal for projects is to provide knowledge in form of lecture series in a wide area of STEM and space science, and in person guided and lectured expeditions in the field of extreme biology. We have the ulterior motive to create accredited courses for kids, teenager, lay people, students, early career professionals and professionals.
Further steps towards the educational experience are the “brick and mortar” projects of an Astrobiology Museum and an Extremophile Zoo.
The Astrobiology Museum is a “brick and mortar” facility where visitors will learn about the topics of origin of life theories and Astrobiology. The Astrobiology Museum will go hand in hand with the Extremophile Zoo.
The Extremophile Zoo will be part of the Astrobiology Museum. Within the Zoo visitors will learn about the extreme habitats on earth and its life forms and how they compare to extreme habitats in our solar system.
The Zoo is starting as an online Zoo on this website where we establish a catalogue of all known extremophile organisms and its habitat/location on earth.
The Extreme Life Sample Sequence and Identify Missions (ELSSI) are our experimental extension of the Extremophile Zoo. Within the missions we go to extreme habitats and remote places, take samples and sequence the organisms within the sample with our mobile sequencer and identify them through their DNA sequence.
We also lend our sequencer to analogue astronauts to perform experiments on their mission in remote and extreme Mars like places. During these Life on Mars analogue Missions (LoMA) we get an extensive reach of remote environments and possible extremophile life forms.
The results will be incorporated in the Extremophile Zoo database. When possible the results will be published in academic journals.
I am a co-founder of Scientarius Institute. My academic background is founded in biochemistry/molecular biology/genetics and radiation-epigenetics. I started my career as a epigeneticist and have 10 years of experience in academic research. Afterwards I joined the biotech industry for 6 years and did some research in the development of cancer therapeutics. My true reason for my decision to embrace the field of biochemistry was founded in the fascination of how life came to be and how it is distributed within the universe and furthermore how life from earth behaves in the space environment genetically and physiologically. For that reason, the founding of Scientarius Institute was a logical step for me. I acquired knowledge and have strong interests in the fields of Origin of Life, Astrobiology, Extremophiles, Bioastronautics and Space Bioscience, Space Genetics, Space Medicine, Space Botany, Human Space Habitation.
