The DuPont Young Professors Award for Bradley L. Nilsson
The purpose of the DuPont Young Professor Grant Program is to assist exceptional young faculty members, within five years of full-time appointment, begin their independent research careers. Prof. Nilsson was selected to receive this award on the basis of a research proposal focusing on noncovalent interactions in self-assembled peptides, directed toward engineering proteins with specifically defined and controlled quaternary structure.
