EXPLOR Biologics Pty Ltd.
Chief Executive Officer
One of Australia’s leading exponents of space biology and health, Dr Joshua Chou is passionate about finding new ways to deal with debilitating diseases by applying engineering principles to unanswered biological questions. He is a committee member of the Australian Space Agency Space Medicien and Life Science group and was awarded the Australia Space Award Researcher of the Year in 2020. Dr. Chou was previously a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Fellow (JSPS), and a Dean’s Scholar Fellow at Harvard School of Dental Medicine working on cell mechanobiology. Dr. Chou is the CEO of EXPLOR Biologics which focuses on innovative approaches toward understanding cellular and disease mechanisms including leveraging the unique properties of microgravity in space to understand physical properties of the living cell and their impact in health and disease. The microgravity environment can accelerate the aging process and provides a great model for understanding disease progression. The EXPLOR Biologic technologies have allowed researcher the ability to develop new and improved preventative and regenerative strategies. This “out-of-this-world” approach has yielded significant insights into how cells and diseases respond and support drug and therapeutic development.
