Ms. Calista Madej completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Arizona in May 2025. Her research interests focus on astrobiology, particularly the origins and detection of life beyond Earth. She is especially interested in prebiotic chemistry, exploring how molecular assembly processes—such as phosphodiester bond formation in DNA—may have contributed to the emergence of life. She is also intrigued by biomarker detection on planets such as Mars to assess whether life may have once developed elsewhere in the universe. Ms. Madej conducted her undergraduate thesis research in the Duhamel Lab for Marine Microbiology and Biogeochemistry, where she investigated the degradation of specific phosphate bonds under Martian-simulated conditions to evaluate their potential as biomarkers of past life. Additionally, she worked in the Barnes Cosmochemistry Lab under the Apollo Next-Generation Sample Analysis (ANGSA) program, studying volatile loss in lunar basalt samples to better understand the Moon’s geologic history. She plans to pursue graduate studies and a career as a research scientist, with the goal of contributing to NASA’s astrobiology and planetary science initiatives and advancing our understanding of life’s potential beyond Earth.
