Are you interested in how chemistry transitions to biology — the origins-of-life problem?
We have some recent work on this problem and we are excited by the possibilities. From an aqueous mixture of three salts and formaldehyde we get protocells. More about the work are in the thread below ⬇️
We are looking for creative scientists with skilful hands and analytical minds to continue the work.
Are you a chemist with analytical (particularly NMR and/or Mass Spectrometry) skills in exploring the biomolecular diversity this system is producing — amino acids, peptides, lipids and more?
Are you a materials scientist/experimental physicist interested in understanding the self assembly and self organisation mechanisms of this system?
Please reach out if you think you are well suited for this — shashi@ncbs.res.in with your CV and a short write up about why this interests you.

Protocells from three inorganic salts, some formaldehyde and water? They grow? They synthesise organic molecules of core biomolecular classes: amino acids, sugars, lipid-like motifs? And, there are similar structures in today's oceans? Yes! Read on. arxiv.org/abs/2601.11013
