Happy to share our newest publication! 🤩 We found that DNA and RNA behave differently in primitive coacervates: RNA makes them more stable, DNA more fluid. Both properties are key for non-enzymatic DNA replication! An incredible teamwork across continents! 😊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to share that I have been awarded a Future Leaders Fellowship! 🤩 I am really grateful to my colleagues at Cambridge Biochemistry for their support and to the UKRI for believing in me and funding this project! Stay tuned for Research Assistant and Associate positions available!

Europe’s choice is clear. To put science at the heart of its economy. To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration. And to welcome talent from all over the world. I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative. → europa.eu/!TTbWbJ

PhD alert! I have two ERC-funded PhD positions to uncover the chemical origins of life (Oct 2025). *UK fees only*. Projects described here: www.lclu.cam.ac.uk/studentship-... Email me if interested - deadline (PhD in Biochemistry, Uni of Cambridge): Jan 7th! Please share within your networks!

Out now in its final shape 🤩 First first-author paper for my first year PhD student Krishnakavya (Kk for friends)! Also first ChemSci for our lab 🤩 pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...

#chemsky community: Have you ever wondered how *natural* lipids got selected from the “mess” generated by prebiotic chemistry? Read our new preprint to find out! Spoiler alert: the selection process is metal-driven! Kudos to 1st year PhD Krishna and all coauthors! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Looking for a PhD position? Curious about the chemistry of primitive lipids and membranes? We are looking for a motivated PhD student interested in prebiotic, systems and/or supramolecular chemistry! Deadline: Jan 4th, 2024! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
