Leadership
As an agile team, we are able to seize opportunities as they emerge.
Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) is small, lean, and independent. Our structure is nimble and flexible, so we are always poised to explore the most promising discoveries. We balance a willingness to take risks with a commitment to rigorous science. This empowers our entire team to creatively pursue breakthroughs in the fight against disease.
