Szostak laboratory

The Szostak laboratory, led by researcher Jack Szostak, focuses on understanding how life originated from simple molecules and the development of early cellular structures. Their work examines how molecules like RNA could have played a role in the earliest forms of life on Earth. By studying the chemistry and physics of these processes, they aim to uncover how life began and explore ways to create synthetic life in the lab. This research helps bridge gaps in our understanding of biology, evolution, and the origins of living systems.
