About the company

Fauna Bio Incorporated, doing business as Fauna Bio Inc., is a woman-owned small business registered to receive federal contract and grant awards since June 21, 2018. The company specializes in leveraging animal adaptations, particularly those of hibernating mammals, to develop novel therapeutic approaches for addressing human health challenges. Fauna Bio's expertise lies in genomics, bioinformatics, and the study of animal physiology, with a focus on applying these insights to space health, cardiovascular protection, and other critical areas of human medicine.

Fauna Bio has secured federal contract awards from NASA's Shared Services Center to support research on interplanetary space travel. Their most recent contract, valued at $244,054, focuses on studying torpor (hibernation-like states) in animals and exploring its potential applications for enabling extended human hibernation during long-duration space travel. This project, titled "A Revolutionary Approach to Interplanetary Space Travel Studying Torpor in Animals for Space Health in Humans STASH," aims to advance transformational space technologies and reduce costs for future space exploration missions. The contract, which runs until September 30, 2025, demonstrates Fauna Bio's unique approach to addressing complex challenges in space health through the study of animal adaptations.

In addition to federal contracts, Fauna Bio has received multiple federal grant awards to support its research initiatives. The company was awarded a $173,308 Project Grant from NASA's Space Technology program (CFDA 43.012) for the same "STASH" project mentioned in their contract work, further emphasizing the significance of their research in space health. Fauna Bio has also secured a grant from the National Human Genome Research Institute (R41HG011577) for a project titled "Identifying Novel Targets for Cardioprotection with Non-Traditional Animal Models." This grant, running from June 1, 2021, to January 31, 2023, focuses on utilizing genomic information from hibernating mammals to uncover novel biological pathways for counteracting human diseases, particularly in areas such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, muscle atrophy, and obesity/diabetes. Through these grants, Fauna Bio aims to develop a comprehensive genomics discovery platform centered on hibernating animals, with the potential to identify innovative therapeutic targets that can translate to human medicine.
