Bonnie Lynn Bassler (born 1962) is an American molecular biologist who has researched chemical communication between bacteria known as quorum sensing, and contributed to the idea that disruption of chemical signaling can be used as an antimicrobial therapy. She is the Squibb Professor in Molecular Biology and chair of the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University. She is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and her research focuses on bacterial quorum sensing, which is the cell-to-cell communication in bacteria.She has received numerous awards for her research, including the Wiley Prize in Biomedical Sciences (2009), the Richard Lounsbery Award (2011), and the L’Oreal-UNESCO award (2012), a MacArthur Fellowship (2002), and the Pearl Meister Greengard Prize (2016).

How Do Bacteria Talk To Each Other?
Bacteria have been around for billions of years. Could they have come up with complex behaviors that we just don’t understand yet? Could they have their own language? Their own culture? Their own complex societies playing out right under, and in, our noses?
Microbiologist Bonnie Bassler has been s…

MTS53 - Bonnie Bassler - The Bacterial Wiretap
In this podcast I talk to Bonnie Bassler, a professor at Princeton and the president-elect of the American Society for Microbiology.
Bassler studies the conversations that bacteria have, using chemicals instead of words, Her research is not only helping to reveal how bacteria work together to make…
Quorum Sensing: Rediscovering the Rules of Bacterial Life Featuring Wolf Prize and Canada Gairdner Award Laureate Bonnie Bassler
In this episode of TNQ Distinguished Lectures, Professor Bonnie Bassler, a molecular biologist and Wolf Prize and Canada Gairdner Award Laureate, talks about her work in quorum sensing – a process of cell-to-cell communication in bacteria. We learn about how she was part of the revolutionary discov…
How bacteria "speak" - Bonnie Bassler
View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-bacteria-talk-bonnie-basslerBonnie Bassler discovered that bacteria "talk" to each other, using a chemical language that lets them coordinate defense and mount attacks. The find has stunning implications for medicine, industry -- and our understanding…
361 | Bonnie Bassler on How Bacteria Talk and Work Together
One of the characteristics of life is that living organisms gather information and put it to use. Even one of the simplest lifeforms, bacteria, are able to sense features of their surroundings and alter their behavior accordingly. Most impressively, they are able to sense the presence of similar ba…
Michael Bunsick on the BIZ with Dr. Kambiz!
Michael Bunsick (mb9677@princeton.edu) is a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University in the lab of Bonnie Bassler. His work focuses on how bacterial viruses exploit a chemical communication process called quorum sensing to optimize their infectious lifecycle. Michael earned both his B.Sc. and Ph…
