Projects
Currently we have two projects: EVOLF and BaSyC. See more detailed information about these 2 projects on the page below.
We aim to expand the community with more projects and connections, so if you would like to join our network of scientists, institutions and universities in the Netherlands creating synthetic cells from the bottom-up or want to add an existing interdisciplinary project in this field? Submit your request.
If you are looking for a research position (for example a PhD or Postdoc position), discover open positions at our project EVOLF.
EVOLF
EVOLF stands for: Evolving life from non-life.
“What if we could build life from scratch? This might sound like science fiction, but it's exactly what the EVOLF project aims to achieve. At the heart of EVOLF is a grand quest to answer one of humanity's most profound questions: What is life?”

BaSyC
Building a Synthetic Cell
“Can we build a living cell from lifeless components? ...and in doing so, understand how life works? With this initiative we aim to address one of the grand scientific challenges of this century: building a synthetic cell from its molecular building blocks.”
