The 49th TI-FRIS Hub Meeting / 65th FRIS Hub Meeting (Hybrid event)

TI-FRIS Hub Meetings are held once a month at Tohoku University to foster researchers who understand and can utilize the importance of interdisciplinary research across disciplines and institutions.
 
Common sense and way of thinking cannot be expected among researchers in different fields. The audience is encouraged to ask questions during the presentation to discuss and deepen their understanding. Please participate actively.

 
 
・Date & Time: Every Friday of the month except August (16:00-17:00)
・Target Audience: TI-FRIS Fellows, researchers and students from TI-FRIS participating institutions

As to the Presenter
 
Presentation Title：Decoding Life through Synthesis: Origins, Motility, and Evolution
Abstract：
What if we could build life from scratch? Synthetic biology and artificial cell research pursue this bold vision by reconstructing biological systems from the bottom up. Through this constructive approach, we investigate how cells first acquired functional proteins on their surfaces, and how they developed the remarkable dynamic capabilities of motility, deformation, and division. Furthermore, we are beginning to explore how our synthetic methodology might illuminate the evolutionary transition from prokaryotes (relatively simple cells like bacteria) to eukaryotes (more complex cellular forms). I will discuss our latest discoveries and outline future directions for this interdisciplinary endeavor that bridges molecular biology, engineering, and evolutionary science.
