Bonnie Bassler, Princeton University's Squibb Professor in Molecular Biology and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, was among 52 life-sciences researchers elected to the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). Bassler and nine other researchers from outside Europe were named associate members of EMBO, which works to encourage promising researchers and foster a supportive, cooperative research environment in Europe. EMBO members provide suggestions and feedback on the organization's activities and help mentor young scientists.
