Collaborations
A large part of what we do is help our colleagues understand the organic compounds of astrobiological interest in their samples. In addition to samples we rely on the complementarity of different analytical techniques with our collaborators.
We are also thankful for the extraterrestrial samples generously provided by the ANSMET teams, NASA JSC, the Smithsonian Institution, Peter Jenniskens Meteorite Consortia, Desert Fireball Network, and other museums around the world.
Those interested in post-doctoral positions should apply for an NPP Fellowship.
