| Seminar Series: Session #31 "RNA Aminoacylation at the Origins of Life" |
|
| THURSDAY, MARCH 21st at 1PM EST |
|
| Dr. Samuel Roberts Career Development Fellow MRC-LMB, Cambridge UK |
| Sam is a postdoc in Prof. John Sutherland F.R.S.’s group at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK where he studies the biochemistry of the Origins of Life.
He completed his undergraduate masters in Chemistry at the University of Oxford, followed by a receiving PhD in 2018 for his work at UCL in London in Prof. Matt Powner’s lab working on prebiotic nucleoside synthesis. Sam moved to Cambridge for a brief move away from Origins of Life science, working in Prof. Sir Shankar Balasubramanian’s group on G-quadruplexes in DNA, before starting in the Sutherland lab in 2021. He holds a Junior Research Fellowship at Wolfson College, Cambridge, UK.
Sam will be presenting “RNA Aminoacylation at the Origins of Life”. |

The PCE3 Seminar Series is designed to highlight diverse origins of life research from all over the world, spark interdisciplinary discussion, and facilitate research connections among the PCE3 community. A primary goal of this series is to showcase the work of talented early career scientists in PCE3 sciences.
The series continues on Thursday, March 21st, from 1:00-2:30pm (EDT). Additionally, sessions will be recorded with the permission of the speakers and uploaded to the PCE3 YouTube Channel. |
