The Crory group is interested harnessing dynamic covalent bonding and supramolecular interactions to deliver responsive materials. A crucial application of this work is in delivering bacteria-combating coatings which may limit the occurrence of medical device associated infections commonly linked with catheters, implants and endotracheal tubes.

The group is also interested in exploiting additional biological cues associated with ailments or disease. This allows for the development of directed treatment delivery or early detection indicators, contributing to better health and patient outcomes.
