David G. Nicholls ^[3] is Professor Emeritus of Mitochondrial Physiology at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in Novato, California. His research focuses on chemiosmosis proposed by Peter D. Mitchell^[4] to couple the electron transport chain to ATP synthase.^[3] His explanation of chemiosmotic theory in the textbook Bioenergetics^[5] has become the standard text in the field.^[3] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2019 for "substantial contribution to the improvement of natural knowledge".^[6]
