Elizabeth Boon’s research group at Stony Brook University - Studying the molecular details of bacterial biofilm regulation!
For ten weeks, Carlos Velez from the University of Puerto Rico joined us to do cool science as part of the SUNY SOAR Program at Stony Brook University. Carlos worked under the mentorship of Karishma Ramcharan, where he characterized the functions of phenazine derivatives in P. aeruginosa! #CIE@SBU

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!
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

Crazy to think how much the lab has grown over the year! We had our biannual group party, and we’re running out of space!
No matter how large the group gets though, there will always be an appearance from “Stabby Crabby”
@stonybrooku.bsky.social had their first B.R.I.D.G.E.S. Symposium to showcase graduate research across Al departments yesterday.
And shout out to masters student Natalie Alfano for winning second place overall!

Another Safety Day win for the books!
Lab safety is crucial in chemical research. Addressing lab safety helps identify and minimize risks, educate researchers on safe/proper practices, and how to respond if an accident does occur.
Stay safe, wear your PPE, and don’t be a Mike Mazowski
Congratulations!!! Well deserved!

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!
Congratulations to both Ngozi and Archana! Both second year PhD students passed their candidacy exam this week!
Hard work paying off, now it’s time to rest!
A tad late, but Happy Thanksgiving! Our lab had a little potluck to celebrate the holiday!
