Executive Director of The Pathogen & Microbiome Institute

Paul Keim

PMI has recruited world class scientists in genomics, infectious disease, computational analysis, bioinformatics, and microbiome research. They work together with NAU students in the state-of-the-art Applied Research & Development building. This building was awarded Platinum LEEDs status as one of the greenest buildings in the world. It provides a warm, interactive, and productive environment for students and faculty.

PMI attracts and trains Arizona’s brightest and mostly highly motivated students. They form teams with faculty and participate in a wide range of disciplines where computer science meets microbiology, in the context of ecosystems and evolutionary principles.

PMI scientists have been highly successful at obtaining research funding and this provides the support for cutting edge research and paid internships.
