– Farewell Jessica!
The second Biteen Lab PhD graduate is moving on to the NIH where she will do a postdoc with in the lab of Jennifer Lee at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Good luck, Jessica!
– Super-Resolution Imaging Unveils the Inner Workings of Live Bacteria!
Hannah’s extensive review of the methods and impact of super-resolution imaging in live bacteria is out in Analytical Chemistry ASAP. Read all about this powerful technique here!
– Congratulations to Yi Liao on winning the Rackham One-Term Dissertation Fellowship
Yi will be the deserving recipient of a Rackham One-Term Dissertation Fellowship as he moves into his final semester as a PhD student!
– Congratulations Ben on passing your candidacy exam!
Congratulations to Ben on advancing to candidacy in the Applied Physics Program!
– Chiral metal/semiconductor supraparticle assemblies have unique plasmonic properites!
“Self-Organization of Plasmonic and Excitonic Nanoparticles into Resonant Chiral Supraparticle Assemblies” is out in Nano Letters ASAP. Ben used simulations to develop a theoretical framework to describe the intriguing optoelectronic properties discovered in nanomaterials made by our collaborators in the Kotov Lab.
– Single-molecule imaging captures starch utilization by human gut bacteria!
Krishanthi’s paper describing how, “Super-Resolution Imaging Captures Carbohydrate Utilization Dynamics in Human Gut Symbionts,” is out in mBio!
– Congratulations Jessica on your thesis defense!
Congratulations to Biteen Lab PhD #2, Dr. Jessica Donehue, for defending your spectacular thesis on, “Plasmon-Enhanced Fluorescent Protein Emission: A New Paradigm for Improved Single-Molecule Bio-Imaging.”
– Single-molecule tracking reveals important information about virulence in Vibrio cholerae!
Beth’s paper describing how, “Single-molecule tracking in live Vibrio cholerae reveals that ToxR recruits the membrane-bound virulence regulator TcpP to the toxT promoter,” is out as Accepted by Molecular Microbiology! Read more here
