“We’ve shown that bacteria have this profound importance on earth,” HHMI Investigator Bonnie Bassler said. “They communicate with chemical words, they count their numbers, they act in groups, and they carry out tasks as collectives that they could never accomplish as individuals.”

At @Princeton, Bassler leads research in quorum sensing, the process by which bacteria communicate with one another to carry out collective tasks. Her lab’s work could one day lead to an alternative to antibiotics.
