I’m really proud of this collaboration with the Visick lab, and have enjoyed my introduction to the world of biofilms and their regulation!

Developing a new live imaging assay is not trivial—it requires a major time investment and a lot of refinement. But Jeremy remained persistent. He found that calcium concentration and the ability to sense calcium through CasA controls this both biofilm formation dynamics and dispersal timing.
