1SGA Frontiers of Protocell Research: Exploring the Origin of Life through a Constructivist Approach

Wed. Sep 28, 2022 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM Room G (Hakodate Citizen Hall Small HallA)

Organizers:Yutetsu Kuruma(JAMSTEC),Tony Z. Jia(Tokyo Tech)

The search for the origin of life (OoL) is now entering a new phase, involving researchers from various fields and incorporating new scientific findings. Especially, the study of artificial cells by a constructivist approach and assembly of protocells by liquid-liquid phase separation or other non-“traditional” physical processes have been advocating a new interpretation in OoL studies. This symposium will focus on the frontiers of the construction and assembly of protocells and artificial cells with novel emergent structures and functions relevant to the origins of life.
