Welcome! We are interested in the biology of early Earth and how understanding life’s emergence and early mechanisms may assist finding life beyond Earth. Our integrative approach enables the study of biomolecule-scale macroevolutionary trends that span billions of years of history and is a fundamentally new methodology with which to study the origins and early evolution of life.
