Dr. Schweizer’s papers on P. aeruginosa genetic tools are probably among the ones that I have cited the most in my papers. Sad to hear that he passed away. #microsky asm.org/obituaries/i...

Congrats to Dr. Matt Allen, for being named a fellow of the @RSC.org, one of the highest distinctions awarded by the world’s oldest chemical society. #wsuchemistry #chemsky clas.wayne.edu/chemistry/ne...

Submit to the JB Biofilms Collection! Research Articles & Minireviews on biofilm formation/dispersal, Abx tolerance, polymicrobial interactions, signalling, imaging & more. Submission deadline: 30 September 2026. journals.asm.org/journal/jb/b... @asm.org #JBacteriol #ASMjournals

A little late post but Congratulations to Dr. Withorn @withornjason.bsky.social on successfully earning his PhD! It has been a great pleasure watching you grow as a scientist over the years and we’re really proud of your accomplishments. The Boon Lab is really excited for your future endeavors!

New preprint: "A branching cell-fate decision in biofilm dispersal enables long-term surface persistence." When V. cholerae biofilms disperse, it isn’t a uniform exit, rather, an opportunity to bet-hedge. A subpopulation of cells stay behind, primed for biofilm regrowth. doi.org/10.64898/202...

The newest version of JB is out. A remembrance of Mike Cashel, a commentary on surface sensing, multiple minireviews and articles. Check it out! journals.asm.org/toc/jb/208/3 @asm.org #JBacteriology

New work from the lab! Sometimes going beyond prototypical strains such as PAO1 or PA14 tells a more complex and nuanced story.

PqsE is conserved and functionally relevant in Pseudomonas aeruginosa https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.16.654539v1

Check out our latest Pre-print from the @groupboon.bsky.social! Following the downstream signaling of NO-mediated biofilm dispersal, we examined the role of all components of the Gac Multi-Kinase Network and identified NahK (and RetS) have predominant control over regulating biofilm through RsmA!

Best part of being in Boston is getting the chance to meet up with @eboros.bsky.social alumni @jennchemm.bsky.social and Kirsten Martin!

@groupboon.bsky.social goes to Boston! Can’t wait to hear about all the new exciting bacterial research over the next two days at @bostonbacteria.bsky.social!

Congratulations to our undergraduate researchers, Xingyu Xiao and Simran Singh, on their selection to participate in the 2025 URECA Summer Research Program! This opportunity allows for a 10-week full-time summer research with an awarded stipend. Proud of you both! #TotheBoon

Congratulations to our very own @withornjason.bsky.social for winning the 2025 Stony Brook University President's Award to Distinguished Doctoral Students! We are very proud of you.

Me my whole PhD: why do people look at polymicrobial systems. Just pick your favorite. *does one polymicrobial experiment this week and finally sees the light

Last week our NIH T32 Chem Bio Training Program (CBTP) had our biannual retreat here at @stonybrooku.bsky.social Resume workshops, poster sessions, meetings with the external advisory committee. Busy week, glad to be back in the lab!

Cool work to come out of @stonybrooku.bsky.social Pharm (J. Seeliger Lab)! Lia was my “Big Sib” through our NIH T32 program here. Definetly worth giving it a read!
