Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Groningen has been working on this problem for over twenty years .

He aims to understand life by trying to reconstruct it; he is building simplified artificial versions of biological systems that can be used as components for a synthetic cell.

Six Dutch research institutes are collaborating in the consortium BaSyc (Building a Synthetic Cell ).

EVOLF project is set to run for another ten years and aims to find out how many more lifeless modules can come together and create living cells.

'Ultimately this would give us a blueprint for life, something that is currently lacking in biology,' says Poolman .

'This may eventually have all kinds of applications, but will also help us to better understand what life is'.
