Morgan Carter, Ph.D.
The Carter lab uses 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 worked with two emerging model systems of bacterial-fungal interactions that are relevant to human, plant, and environmental health. The Carter Lab continues to investigate those model systems, and discovers new symbioses between microbes, all with the goal of improving how we tackle fungal disease control in the field and hospital.
