Research Focus
The activities of the lab largely have involved (1)
studies of structure, function, and processing of stable RNAs; and (2) the development and application of molecular methods to the study of microbial ecosystems.

Pace Symposium
Thank you for joining us in celebrating 25 years of microbial diversity, 40 years of RNA research and 65 years of Norm Pace! It was great to see everyone here to celebrate Norm's amazing accomplishments! Click this link to see photos from the symposium and watch Norm's keynote address.
MCDB at CU-Boulder
The Pace lab is located in the department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB) building on the CU main campus. Click here for a map . CU-Boulder is home to 4 Nobel Laureates, 7 MacArthur Fellows (including Dr. Pace!), 33 members of the National Academies, and 28,600 students.
Boulder, CO
Our lab is located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, in Boulder, Colorado. Boulder is a great city for academics with the University of Colorado, NCAR, NOAA, NIST, and a strong biotechnology industry. It is also a great place to live because of the fabulous weather, outdoor activities galore, a lively music scene and nightlife, and good dining.
