Research

Research in the Mann group encompasses a wide range of cross-disciplinary activities that are based in the Centre for Protolife Research and Centre for Organized Matter Chemistry (see links to these websites).

Our current interests include the following themes:

• From chemistry to biology

• Protocell design

• Synthetic cellularity

• Origins of Life

• Solvent-free liquid proteins

• Self-assembly of nanoscale objects

• Life as a nanoscale phenomenon

• Mesoscale self-assembly and transformation

• Nanotectonics

• Chemistry of form

• Template-directed nanomaterials synthesis

• Crystallization at inorganic-organic interfaces
