Our research program combines experiment and theory to investigate the origins and self-organization of living systems. Broadly, we pursue two approaches:
de novo construction of synthetic mimics of living matter
  • Synthetic self-replication and origin of life scenarios (Sandeep Ameta, Nayan Chakraborty, Dhanush Gandavadi, Jyoti Prasad Banerjee)
  • Self-assembly and collective behavior in active systems (Harvey Devereux, Aniruddh Murali, Manoj Kumar)
probing the physical basis of organization in living systems
  • Physical basis of metabolism and transitions to death/dormancy (Godwin Stephenson, Chandan Reddy, Charuhansini Kulkarni, Nishant Narayanasamy)
  • Chemical reactions and information processing  (Anupam Singh, Jyoti Prasad Banerjee)
  • Interacting populations (Godwin Stephenson, Amit Nadig)
  • Physical basis of cellular antigen processing (Manoj Kumar)
