LIFE RCN Seminar Series Episode 2: Dr. Eloi Camprubi and Myrine Barreiro-Arevalo

Time: July 8th, 8am PDT/11am EDT

Dr. Eloi Camprubi is an Assistant Professor of Astrobiochemistry at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), with an interest in understanding life’s emergence, evolution, and distribution, and a passion to help unveil how life emerges on a planetary body, design strategies for its detection, and ultimately understand why life – as a phenomenon – exists.

The title of Dr. Camprubi’s talk is “Self-Oxidation of the Atmospheres of Rocky Planets with Implications for the Origin of Life".

Dr. Camprubi will be joined by an early-career scientist from his lab, Myrine Barreiro-Arevalo, a 4th year PhD candidate at UTRGV in the Mathematics and Statistics with Interdisciplinary Applications degree program, currently working on modeling non-genetic replication and heredity in protocells.

The title of Myrine’s talk is “Evolution before Genes: Modeling Heredity in Vesicle Systems”.
