[1AS-09]【E】Life in Universe: Diversity in the building blocks, environments, and biological functions

Wed. Nov 27, 2024 9:00 AM - 11:15 AM JST
Wed. Nov 27, 2024 12:00 AM - 2:15 AM UTC
Room 9(Fukuoka International Congress Center, 3F Main Hall)
Organizer: Hikaru Yabuta (Hiroshima University), Shino Suzuki (JAXA ISAS / RIKEN)
Our scientific understanding on life on Earth has been remarkably improved since the beginning of molecular biology in 1950s. On the other hand, we do not know what "Universal Life" is, as Earth-life is the only life we know of, for now. In order to determine the true definition of life, it is necessary to unveil the origin and evolution of life in space and to investigate habitability of planets other than Earth. This session will address the diversity of possible building blocks of life, environments, and biological functions on Earth and planets by integration of the latest researches in geochemistry, microbiology, bioscience, and space explorations.
9:00 AM - 9:15 AM JST(12:00 AM - 12:15 AM UTC)
