Welcome to the
Otto Research Group
We are interested in a variety of subjects at the interface of chemistry, biology, and the synthesis of life. Our research spans:
- Systems chemistry
- Supramolecular chemistry
- De-novo synthesis of life
- Origins of life
- Self-replication
- Foldamers
- Catalysis (nonlinear catalysis, autocatalysis, feedback)
- Dynamic combinatorial chemistry
- Chiral symmetry breaking
- Dissipative phenomena
- Far-from-equilibrium systems
- Soft materials
- Hydrogels for tissue culture
- Nanomaterials
