Event Date
Cara Haney, Associate Professor, The University of Pittsburgh, presents "Getting to the root of plant microbiome interactions".
Dr. Cara Haney is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. She received her PhD in 2011 studying rhizobia-legume symbiosis with Sharon Long. Her postdoctoral work with Frederick Ausubel focused on developing Arabidopsis-Pseudomonas fluorescens as a genetically tractable model to identify the genetic basis of beneficial traits in plant-microbiome interactions. Her lab uses model systems to elucidate basic mechanisms in host-microbiome interactions and to find sustainable solutions for agronomically important challenges.
