Newly minted PhD. Molecular plant biologist at Innatrix in RTP, NC. Interested in developing strategies to combat plant diseases in agriculture. In my downtime I’m taking a picture of my plate my plate, reading my kindle, or planning my next trip 🌱👩🏻🔬🥘📖🥾🌊🌄
Having major #2025ISMPMI FOMO… thankfully @morgancarterphd.bsky.social is keeping everyone updated on the new exciting science being shared!

Meet Innatrix’ summer intern, Ben Ryan! He is a forensic biology undergrad who discovered his love for plant biology (which makes sense since plants are awesome).
With our latest SCN trial taken down this week, Ben is busy counting cysts.
Excited to be Ben’s mentor this summer!

If you haven’t heard, @inneslab.bsky.social was inducted into the NAS this week! To celebrate, current and past Innes lab members joined lab meeting today to congratulate him. So excited for you, Roger! I know you will continue making exceptional contributions to the field and agriculture 🌱👨🏻🔬

Harvesting cysts from my very first greenhouse trial today. Am I a nematologist yet?

Hi, I study how "diverse" bacteria interact with fungi to learn about microbial "community diversity" and the "underappreciated" field of microbial interactions. We want to know how fungi "discriminate" or are "biased toward" certain potential symbionts.
And Ctrl+F word policing is dumb. 🦠🧪

Now that I’m in the 💙sky I can share this from graduation last month. I was hesitant about making the trip back to IN for 48 hours, but I’m so glad I did!
Proud mentor of Ph.D. triplets! Congratulations to Suchismita Ghosh, Ben Koch, and Alexandra Margets! All have a great future in front of them. It's been a great six years in the Innes Lab.

Happy to share that I have joined the Innatrix team in NC where I’m working on the delivery and efficacy of biological products aimed at address both SCN and grape downy mildew. Excited for this next science journey!
