Julie Biteen was named a Scialog Fellow by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. “Scialog: Molecules Come to Life” is intended to catalyze the development of a community of early career scientists interested in pursuing collaborative, high risk, highly impactful discovery research on untested ideas in physical cell biology. Biteen was selected for the program based on her accomplishments elucidating contested processes in microbiology with super-resolution imaging in live bacteria, and through the Scialog conferences, she intends to build connections and form new collaborations that lead to profound scientific advances.

Congratulations to Ben who passed his Applied Physics quals exam!

For the second time in two years, Jessica has won a Dow Chemical Company travel grant award at the University of Michigan Vaughan Symposium!

Beth’s paper, “Imaging live cells at the nanometer-scale with single-molecule microscopy: Obstacles and achievements in experiment optimization for microbiology,” is out in the journal Molecules!

Bing has been selected as this year’s University of Michigan Vaughan Symposium Physical Chemistry speaker!

Jessica’s paper on plasmon-enhanced emission from single fluorescent proteins has been published in J. Phys. Chem. C!

Congratulations to Dr. Justin Lenhart on winning a Dow Postdoctoral Fellowship in Sustainability!

Congratulations to Dr. Beth Haas on defending her Ph.D. thesis on, “Mapping, tracking and modeling the movements of single membrane-bound transcription activator proteins in live Vibrio cholerae!

This summer, we welcome new lab members Dr. Justin Lenhart, Brandy Grove and Stephen Lee!

Congratulations to Bing and Chanrith on successful candidacy exams!
