New work from the lab! Sometimes going beyond prototypical strains such as PAO1 or PA14 tells a more complex and nuanced story.
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!
The histidine kinase NahK in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is essential for nitric oxide-stress resistance in nutrient starved media www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.07....
Check out the latest preprint from our lab! 🎉🎉🎉
PhD student Sweta Anantharaman (not on BlueSky) investigated how the NahK signaling system plays a role in NO stress in differing nutrient conditions!
Sweta went above and beyond exploring new research areas in our laboratory! Excited for reviews!
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
Come join our faculty! We’re hiring.

I love sacB! Plasmid our lab utilizes for genomic deletion uses sacB for second crossover. Slow selection, but works like a charm!

The glycocalyx, our cells' sugar coat, holds secrets in immunology, cancer, viral infections, and more. Visualizing its molecular architecture was impossible… until now. #glycotime #microscopy

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!
Congrats Jen! Well deserved!
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!
Proud Mentor Alert 🚨
Natalie Osorio, a high school student I had the pleasure of mentoring this summer through @stonybrooku.bsky.social Simons Stem Scholars Program, advanced to the next stage of the Regeneron Talent Search!
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 Super proud regardless!
A nice little biofilm contamination for @contamclub.bsky.social. Popped up on a stack of LB plates left on the bench top. Love to see the wrinkles!
My failed cloning today isn’t ready for propylene glycol tomorrow
Cool #T6SS work by the @basler-lab.bsky.social

Man oh man is today one of those days where lab is finding new ways to make me go 🙃
Very elegant work by Matt Parsek and Dan Wozniak crew. See the @pnas.org paper by Zheng et al at doi.org/10.1073/pnas...
The surface matters when it comes to trigger Pseudomonas aeruginosa signalling through cdiGMP or cAMP
