UK Centre for Astrobiology
The UK Centre for Astrobiology is an interdisciplinary research centre established in 2011 at the University of Edinburgh. Its scientific focus began with the study of life in extremes and investigating the conditions that give rise to habitable environments for life on the Earth and potentially beyond.
More recently, it has expanded this remit to understanding the conditions that give rise to habitable worlds and studying how life emerges, proliferates and leaves traces on such worlds.
