3SKA Our Potential as Earthly Organisms: From Extremophile Microbes to Artificial Cells

Thu. Nov 16, 2023 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM Room K (Conference Room 131+132 (Bldg. 1, 3F))

Organizers: Ichihashi Norikazu (The Univ. of Tokyo)、Suzuki Shino (JAXA)

共催:CREST/さきがけ「ゲノム合成」

The recent discovery of new microorganisms with extraordinary characteristics has extended the possibility of living organisms on Earth. Similarly, the recent synthesis of artificial cellular and non-cellular systems has revealed what life could potentially be. As a result of these studies, we have come to realize that the potential of living systems on Earth, including human beings, is much greater than previously thought. In this symposium, we have invited researchers who are actively studying microorganisms in extraordinary habitats or synthesizing artificial systems with extraordinary properties. We hope that this symposium will provide an opportunity for researchers from different fields to broaden their perspectives on living things.
