The Widicus Weaver Group conducts research in the emerging field of prebiotic astrochemistry to investigate the chemical mechanisms in space that lead to the development of biological systems. Their research draws from the forefronts of laboratory spectroscopy, observational astronomy, and chemical modeling. It is the group’s philosophy that only through this type of fully integrated research combining spectroscopy, observations, and modeling we will fully understand the mechanisms driving interstellar chemistry and the pathways for the formation of life.
