David W. Deamer

David W. Deamer is a scientist who studies the origins of life and how biological molecules, like DNA and proteins, may have formed on Earth billions of years ago. His research focuses on understanding how simple molecules can organize into more complex structures within small environments called protocells, which could have been stepping stones to living cells. He also investigates the role of membranes and the chemistry involved in the earliest forms of life, helping to shed light on how life began on our planet.
