Abstract

In May 2001, after about five years of postdoctoral stay in Paris studying basic mechanisms of replication and recombination in bacteria, I joined an attractive project: the foundations of the Astrobiology Center (CAB), a joint center of the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) and the Superior Council of Scientific Investigations (CSIC), associated with the NASA Astrobiology Institute [NAI], were beginning to be laid. Led by the visionary Dr. Juan Pérez-Mercader, the CAB was going to be dedicated to the study of the origin and evolution of life with a clear transdisciplinary approach in which biologists, chemists, astrophysicists, computer scientists, and engineers would work together. Embarking on a new project with such objectives, with researchers in full boiling of ideas was attractive enough to decide that it was time to return to Spain.
