One of the most significant and challenging problems in chemical biology is understanding how non-living matter can assemble to form life. We are approaching this problem through the synthesis of artificial cells, developing coupling reactions that drive the self-assembly, growth, and reproduction of lipid vesicle assemblies. To guide our work, we are developing chemical tools to blueprint the structure and function of modern cells. Using this combined approach, we strive to understand the prerequisite chemistry from which biology can emerge.
