UCL Centre for Life's Origins and Evolution

The UCL Centre for Life's Origins and Evolution (CLOE) is a world-class centre of excellence for research focussed on the understanding of the origins of life and animals and how they can help us to understand today's changing environment.

Welcome

UCL has a long and illustrious history in exploring the origins of life. From Robert Grant (Darwin’s Professor) to Edwin Ray Lankester (first to formulate the notion of homology in evolutionary terms) to JZ Young (discovered the squid giant axon) UCL has been at the cutting edge of understanding the patterns and processes of life and evolution.

The Centre for Life’s Origin and Evolution (CLOE) was established in 2017 and is the latest incarnation of research excellence in this critical field °ÄÃÅÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼.
