Garth L. Nicolson, PhD, (b.1943), is an American biochemist. He's the Founder, President, and Chief Scientific Officer of The Institute for Molecular Medicine, Huntington Beach, California. His career has covered many scientific and medical areas, but he is best known professionally for advancing the understanding of cell membranes. Nicolson coauthored with S.J. Singer, a classic paper in cell biology,[1] titled "The fluid mosaic model of the structure of cell membranes" in 1972.[2]

Dr. Nicolson has researched the role of chronic infections in a variety of chronic illnesses, including myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, Gulf War Illness, and other autoimmune diseases.[3] His extensive work on Gulf War Illness earned him the prestigious awards of an Honorary title of Colonel of the US Army Special Forces and an Honorary title of U.S. Navy SEAL.[4]
