Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry
Claudia Bonfio is tackling the research question of how life emerged from non-living matter through the design and development of primitive cells, exploring how prebiotically-relevant chemical networks can influence the assembly, dynamics and replication of membrane-bound compartments.
