We study how non-life could have transitioned to life on the early Earth using tools from geochemistry, biochemistry and somemore. If selected, you will be working on one of the ongoing projects that look at how informational and catalytic molecules emerged on the early Earth via nonenzymatic means.
Basic knowledge in Biochemistry is mandatory! Exposure to basic courses in earth sciences and physics will be a huge plus!
