today’s critical global challenges in
healthcare, sustainability and security by
developing solutions inspired from natural
systems and translating those solutions
into commercially viable products and
clinical practices.
6. We are interested in in vitro and in vivo replications of
nucleic acid based nanostructures for scaling up and
evolving functional nanostructures. Another important
aspect of our research directions is to create self-
assembling structures that are dynamic which allows one to
trigger a cascading molecular event using either small
molecules or biological molecules as logical inputs. We are
interested in collective behaviors of different molecules
interacting with each other.
Self-replication and
dynamic molecular
assembly
We use DNA as a programmable nanoscale building
material to construct designer nanoarchitectures with
increasing complexity in two and three dimensional spaces.
We are interested in hierarchical engineering of
sophisticated nanmachines.

7. Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology
Basic research in plant molecular
biology and protein engineering,
as well as the utilization of plant
biotechnology for enhancement
of food quality and value, for
expression of pharmacological
products in transgenic plants, and
for overcoming health and
agricultural constraints in the
developing world.

9. Global gene expression in Space
One of Nickerson’s newest
investigations, called Micro-5/
Phoenix, delivered to the
International Space Station earlier
this year by the commercial
carrier SpaceX, is the most
complex biological experiment
ever performed during
spaceflight. The goals of this
study are to further our
understanding of how intestinal
pathogens cause disease, prevent
or counteract foodborne illness in
astronauts, and translate these
findings into novel strategies to
prevent foodborne illness for the
general public.

that is taking an inspiration from
functional genomics to create a new
type of graphic representation and

genes encode the proteins that make
each organism and species unique.
