Julie Suzanne Biteen is a Canadian-born American chemist who is professor of chemistry and biophysics at the University of Michigan. Her research considers the development of imaging systems for biological systems. She was named the Stanford University Sessler Distinguished Alumni Lecturer in 2021.

Early life and education

Biteen was born in Montreal.[1] Her father worked in Human Resources and her mother was a librarian.[1] As a child, she enjoyed mathematics and thought that she might become a civil engineer.[1] During her undergraduate studies, she became fascinated by fundamental scientific research.[1] Biteen majored in chemistry at Princeton University and conducted research under the supervision of Hershel Rabitz by investigating maps for quantum control. After completing her bachelor's degree, she moved to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where she earned a master's in applied physics[2] and completed her doctoral research with Harry Atwater and Nathan Lewis. In her doctoral research, she investigated nanoparticle plasmonics and quantum dot optoelectronics.[3] She joined Stanford University as a postdoctoral scholar, where she used super-resolution imaging with William E. Moerner. As a postdoc, she developed photoactivated localization microscopy systems to image Caulobacter crescentus, acquiring the first images of MreB, a protein found in bacteria.[1]

Research and career

Biteen was appointed to the faculty at the University of Michigan in 2010. She investigates microbial cell biology using advanced imaging techniques such as single-molecule and super-resolution imaging.[4] In particular, single-molecule microscopy[5] can provide nanoscale information about biological processes. She has used these techniques to understand how proteins recognise and bind histones during transcriptional silencing and to reveal information about the gut microbiome.[6] At the same time she has studied how plasmonic metal nanoantennas reshape the fluorescence of nearby molecules.[7]
