Dr. Fumiaki Yokoyama (co-investigator, Cell Revival Team) has established an independent research group, the Microbial Lifeform Dynamics Group, at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) as a Bunibushi Fellow. His group aims to experimentally elucidate the boundary between life and nonlife in bacterial cells by integrating cellular microbiology, microfluidic devices, and quantitative live-cell […]

We have established collaboration with Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Areas (A) ‘Emergence of Novel Functional Assembly by Evo-Physico Information Coupling (EPIC Assembly)’, led by Professor Tetsuya Kobayashi. Through intensive discussions with this area, which researches how advanced life functions emerged and became refined from an evolutionary perspective, we will conduct research on ‘life and non-life’ […]

We will co-host a session at the 18th Symposium of Japanese Society For Cell Synthesis Research on September 16 (Tue)–17 (Wed), at Rikkyo University. We will hold the co-organized session “The Boundary Between Life and Nonlife.”http://jscsr.org/sympo2025/

We have launched our website.In addition to this site, we will also share updates via our official X account (in Japanese):https://x.com/Life_Nonlife
