Director at The Origin of Life Science Foundation, Inc, United States
Dr. David Lynn Abel is a pioneering researcher in the fields of origin-of-life science, proto-biocibernetics, and protocellular metabolomics. As the driving force behind The Gene Emergence Project and The Origin of Life Science Foundation, Dr. Abel explores the foundational principles of biological programming, the emergence of genetic information, and the algorithmic nature of life.
Profile:
🧠 Research Focus:
Dr. David Lynn Abel is a pioneering thinker in the realms of proto-biocentric systems, origin-of-life studies, and genetic emergence. Through his innovative concept of ProtoBioCybernetics, he explores life as a form of programmed computation, challenging conventional narratives around abiogenesis and molecular evolution.
