For 43 years he taught (with Mike Cox) an intensive survey ofbiochemistry for advanced biochemistry undergraduates in the life sciences.He has also taught graduate courses on membrane structure and function, aswell as on molecular neurobiology. Nelson’s research focused on the signaltransductions that regulate ciliary motion and exocytosis in the protozoanParamecium.
