Origins Visiting Scholar John Sutherland will receive the 2025 NAS Award in Early Earth and Life Studies – Stanley Miller Medal

"John D. Sutherland, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, will receive the 2025 NAS Award in Early Earth and Life Studies – Stanley Miller Medal.

John's pioneering work on prebiotic chemical pathways and geochemical scenarios provides fresh insight into the synthesis of the building blocks of biology on the early Earth.

John studies the syntheses of the informational, catalytic and compartment-forming molecules necessary for the emergence of life. His research has uncovered a plausible solution to the central problem of prebiotic nucleotide synthesis."
