Cara Haney, Associate Professor, the University of Pittsburgh, presents "Getting to the root of plant-microbe interactions".

Dr. Cara Haney is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. Her lab uses Arabidopsis-Pseudomonas fluorescens as a genetically tractable model to identify the genetic basis of beneficial traits in plant-microbiome interactions. Her research focuses on elucidating basic mechanisms in host-microbiome interactions, and in finding sustainable solutions for agronomically important challenges.
