Galaxy, Molecular Clouds, and the Solar System

I would like to link the birth of the Solar System with the evolution of the Galaxy.  Where and how was the Solar System born?  I believe that short-lived radionuclides can be key nuclides for constraining the birth environment of the Solar System.  I also do laboratory experiments to simulate low-temperature photochemical reactions in the Sun's parent molecular cloud to constrain the chemistry of the cloud.
