RSam Podcast Francesca Bellazzia: The Gene, Self-Assembly, and the Philosophy of Biochemistry
Dr Francesca Bellazzi is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the ERC-funded project AssemblingLife at the University of Oslo, working on self-assembling processes in biochemistry. Her main research explores the philosophy of biochemistry and the interface between chemistry and biology. Her thesis was titled "Biochemical Kinds and the Unity of Science". She will be releasing her upcoming book 'Philosophy of Biochemistry: Biochemical Kinds and their Properties' with Cambridge University Press. In this episode, we discuss biochemical functions, the gene as a natural kind, self-assembling processes, process philosophy and the philosophy of biochemistry.
