Abstract

Kepa Ruiz-Mirazo is a physicist who has devoted most of his research career to studying the epistemological foundations of biology by focusing on the problem of origins of life and its non-trivial chemical roots. His main scientific contributions have been in the elaboration of protocell models both in vitro and in silico. This has reinforced a theoretical perspective according to which phase heterogeneity, molecular diversity, and the functional coupling among various kinds of physical and chemical processes are key to understanding biological phenomena and their evolutionary emergence. He is currently involved in the European ProtoMet project ( https://protomet-etn.eu/ ).
