New voyages of exploration across continents and oceans have uncovered an incredible diversity of cellular forms, while submarines probing deep-sea vents have found hints of primordial cells seemingly unchanged for billions of years. What drove those earliest cells to make the leap from a streamlined prokaryotic cell plan to the complex and versatile eukaryotic design?
In this Infosys Prize lecture, Prof. Mukund Thattai will bring together threads from biology, physics, and computer science to weave the story of the past, present and future of cellular life.
