Origins of Life and the Work of Juan Perez-Mercader’s Group

Please follow the link below to an intersting article in Chemical World about the earliest phases of life featuring the work of Juan Perez-Mercader’s group at the Rowland Institute.  Juan is a Senior Research Fellow and Principal Investigator on a multi-year project focused on synthetic biology and the origins of life.  The second link is to a recent and related publication in Nature.  Fascinating work!
