Elizabeth M. Boon is an American biochemist who is a professor and associate dean of the graduate school at Stony Brook University. She is known for her research on the biochemical mechanisms used by bacteria to regulate biofilm formation.
Education and career[edit]
Boon was an undergraduate at Kenyon College where she majored in chemistry.[1] She moved to the California Institute of Technology for her graduate studies, working with Jacqueline Barton on DNA-mediated electrochemical reactions.[2] Following her Ph.D., Boon was a National Institutes of Health Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley working with Michael Marletta.[3][4] At Stony Brook University she serves as a professor of chemistry.[1] In 2018 she was made co-director of the Chemical Biology Training Program, an NIH-funded T32 program. In 2023 she was named associate dean of the graduate school.[5]
Awards and honors[edit]
- 2011, Elected a Kavli Fellow by the National Academy of Sciences and the Kavli Foundation[6]
- 2008, Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers[7]
- 2008, Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award[8]
