The Chemical Origins of Life on Earth by Sam Roberts

The Chemical Origins of Life on Earth

The question ‘Where do we come from?’ is a fundamental one that can be traced back throughout human history. Thanks to the modern advances in biological sciences, the immense complexity of life is becoming more and more apparent. What is less known is how biology first appeared on Earth. In the Sutherland lab we study plausible Chemistry of the Earth 4 billion years ago with the aim of understanding how the earliest forms of biology could have emerged and developed. Sam will talk through some examples of how the Sutherland lab’s research is unravelling how life could have emerged on Earth.

About the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB):
The LMB is one of the world's leading research institutes. Discoveries and inventions developed at the LMB, for example DNA sequencing and methods to determine the structure of proteins, have revolutionised all areas of biology. Its scientists work to advance understanding of biological processes at the molecular level. This information will help us to understand the workings of complex systems, such as the immune system and the brain, and solve key problems in human health.
