The origin of life is one of the biggest questions in science, but until recently it was, experimentally, a question in chemistry.

These point to hydro-thermal vent environments as ‘incubators’ that could drive growth in a similar way to cells at the origin of life.
Professor Lane will discuss how these ideas are being tested in the lab.
