This project investigates the formation and preservation of protocells, the precursors to living organisms, using microfluidic techniques. It aims to distinguish between abiotic and biological microstructures in the geological record to enhance our understanding of life's origins.
Fossilised remains of protocells transitioning towards the first living organisms may be observable in the early rock record distorting our interpretation of biosignatures.
Protocells cellular structures existing prior to the emergence of life would have comprised simple membranes and molecular machinery.
The formation of complex protocells is poorly understood.
The interpretation of fossilised microorganisms in the early rock record is steeped in controversy.
The potential for abiotic microst…
