Seminar: Physics of Early Life – Übersicht
- Übersicht
Which biophysical processes could lead to the first living systems? How can Darwinian evolution be triggered by nonequilibrium processes? Can we build the strategies of life bottom up in the lab? The minimal requirements for the emergence of an evolutionary dynamics are three processes: replication, mutation, and selection. To maintain the genetic simulation, also a nonequilibrium system is needed. We will discuss recent progress in understanding this phase transition from nonliving to living matter. Topics will include experimental and theoretical treatments.

Zeit und Ort
Fr 12.30-14.00 over Zoom-------------- Seminar is online under this link --------------------
The Seminar is geared towards Masterstudents, however talented, late Bachelorstudents willing to digg deep into more special concepts are also welcome. Papers will focus on recent advances on the topic. The 13 Topics + Papers can downloaded soon here as one zip-file. On Friday 24.4. we meet on above Zoom link and discuss and distribute the topics.

Please send the Schein (prefilled here) to dieter.braun@lmu.de by email. I will fit in the mark, stamp it and send it back. In parallel, I will email the marks to the Prüfungsamt (but for that need the Mat# from you from the Schein!).
We make the Magnetic DNA every Wednesday around 10.00 in our lab (only with FFP2 masks). Check out the assembly movie here.
