His research interests have focused on aspects of biochemistry and molecular biology of ribosome synthesis and cell growth. In the last 15 years he has characterized the organization of rRNA and ribosomal protein genes and the pathways for precursor rRNA processing and ribosome assembly and biogenesis in various halophilic and thermophilic archaeal species.

Fredrickson is Laboratory Fellow in the Environmental Microbiology Group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Since joining BattelleNorthwest in 1985, he has focused his research efforts on the microbial ecology and biogeochemistry subsurface environments, using geochemical and molecular approaches.

His research interests are in quantitative theory of organizationally complex biological systems, generic nonlinear methods for mathematical and computer analysis, application of theory to specific classes of cellular and molecular networks, elucidation of biological design principles, and design and construction of novel gene circuits. He was a Guggenheim Fellow and Fulbright Senior Research Fellow at the MaxPlanck Institut fur Biophysikalische Chemie in Gottingen and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

From page 35... ...
His research interests focus on the analysis of organizationally complex biomedical systems, particularly metabolic pathways. He uses biochemical systems theory defined by highly structured sets of nonlinear ordinary differential equations to study complex systems that are characterized by numerous components that interact in a nonlinear fashion and can exhibit emerging responses not possible in smaller subsystems.
