- 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
- Molecular recognition (small molecules and biomolecules)
- Self-Assembly
- Nanomaterials
