OM DENNE EPISODE

A breakthrough in synthetic life

Synthetic biologist Kate Adamala has been making major headlines as her lab creates cells that feed, divide, and grow — all from nonliving parts. It may sound like sci-fi, but Kate believes that these “not quite alive” cells are key to a renewable future.


This is the second episode of our new three-part series, Life from Scratch.
