Peter Pauw has been on the faculty at Gonzaga since 1987 and between 1998 and 2004 served as the Chair of the Biology Department. His research interests focus on the role of the Na+/K+-ATPase in cell physiology and development and he maintains the department tissue culture facilities. Other academic interests include science education and his classes include a course for future elementary teachers. His hobbies include golf and his current non-academic projects include resurrecting a 1961 shortbed stepside Chevy pickup with his son.
