Nick really likes oscillators, such as the cell cycle, metabolic rhythms, circadian clocks, and synthetic oscillators.  Folks in his lab use a combination of synthetic biology, time lapse microscopy, microfluidics, comparative genomics, mathematical modelling, and molecular genetics to understand biological oscillation.  When he’s not in lab, he’s at home on 5 acres in the Duke forest with his family.  The summer fireflies are very satisfying to watch.</div>
