The Carter lab will use computational, molecular, and genetic tools to understand when and how bacteria and fungi form close symbioses that impact their hosts. Morgan Carter began working on host-microbe-microbe interactions during her Plant Pathology Ph.D. training at Cornell University and continued in the area for her postdoctoral work at the University of Arizona. As both a USDA Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellow, she has worked with two emerging model systems of bacterial-fungal interactions that are relevant to human, plant, and environmental health. She is excited to join CIPHER and begin a research program that tackles the challenges that microbe-microbe interactions bring to our understanding of microbiomes and host health.
