Description: Studying the natural selection of metals across eons. Muse is a NASA Interdisciplinary Consortium for Astrobiology Research, based at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
We explore key biological innovations that happened throughout Earth’s history and assess their significance in our search for life in the universe. We are based at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and part of the NASA Center for Early Life & Evolution.
Earth’s past, present and future
We focus on the evolution of metal use on Earth - specifically, the biochemistry of carbon and nitrogen acquisition throughout time. We carry out geochemical and biological investigations that involve ancient materials, modern experiments, and exploration of past and present natural systems.
