- Quorum sensing
The research in her laboratory focuses on the molecular mechanisms that bacteria use for intercellular communication. This process is called quorum sensing. Bassler’s research is paving the way to the development of novel therapies for combating bacteria by disrupting quorum-sensing-mediated communication.

Oct 24, 2013 · Bassler: We decided to work on a free-living bacterium, Vibrio harveyi, which clearly would have quorum sensing. Our idea, initially, was that there would be more sensory inputs controlling bioluminescence than Silverman had found controlled bioluminescence in Vibrio fischeri , which lives as a symbiont in a rather controlled environment.
