Elevate the Next Generation of Scientists through Support of PMI

The research that we conduct at the Pathogen and Microbiome Institute (PMI) is critical as we are developing new knowledge and breakthroughs that advance the human condition. But, perhaps more importantly, our significant research efforts allow us to provide numerous students with opportunities for hands-on experience with cutting-edge research. This prepares the next generation of scientists with the advanced skills and abilities they will use to make real improvements to the lives of our fellow Arizonans and others throughout the world.

With your support to the Pathogen and Microbiome Institute Fund (PMI) on NAU Giving Day, we can continue training and mentoring students. Make a gift to a highlighted priority below:
