Bio
Dr. Cara Haney is an associate professor and Canada Research Chair in Molecular mechanisms in host-microbiome interactions in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Prior to joining the UBC faculty in 2016, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School. Her lab uses high throughput screening combined with genetic and genomic approaches 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 in the face of a changing climate.
