Overview

Norman R. Pace is affiliated with the University of Colorado Boulder in the United States. Their research integrates multiple disciplines, primarily within Medicine, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Environmental Science. The specific subfields of interest include Infectious Diseases, Molecular Biology, Global and Planetary Change, Environmental Chemistry, and Mechanics of Materials.

The scientist's recent publication record includes studies published between 2020 and focuses on areas such as microbial communities, environmental gas dynamics, and gastrointestinal health. Notable papers include:

  • Microbial and Biogeochemical Indicators of Methane in Groundwater Aquifers of the Denver Basin, Colorado, 2020, Environmental Science & Technology
  • Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Phenotype, C. difficile and NOD2 Genotype Are Associated with Shifts in Human Ileum Associated Microbial Composition, 2020, UNC Libraries
  • Disease phenotype and genotype are associated with shifts in intestinal-associated microbiota in inflammatory bowel diseases:, 2020, UNC Libraries

The main topics explored in their work cover Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens research, gut microbiota and health, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, methane hydrates and related phenomena, hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir analysis, gastrointestinal motility and disorders, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Frequent collaborators include Charles E. Robertson, Ellen Li, Christina M. Hamm, R. Balfour Sartor, and Wei Zhu. These partnerships have contributed to multiple publications, especially in UNC Libraries and Environmental Science & Technology.

Norman R. Pace has been recognized with several awards throughout their career, such as the ASM Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society for Microbiology in 2007, a Fellowship from the MacArthur Foundation in 2001, and the Dupont Industrial Biosciences Award in Applied and Environmental Microbiology in 1996. They have also been a member of the National Academy of Sciences since 1991 and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) since 1988.
