Postdoctoral Fellow
Adam Carte, PhD

Adam was born and raised in rural Southern West Virginia and went on to study biochemistry at West Virginia University (WVU), where he graduated summa cum laude in 2014. He received his PhD from Harvard’s Systems, Synthetic, and Quantitative Biology Graduate Program in May 2022 but spent much of his last 2.5 years of graduate training in Switzerland as a visiting student at the University of Basel’s Biozentrum. During his PhD work in the lab of Dr. Alexander Schier, Adam paired quantitative microscopy with zebrafish to learn more about the generation and interpretation of signaling gradients in developing vertebrate embryos. Motivated by an interest in the molecular/cellular biology that occurs at the interface of organisms and their environments, Adam joined the Perrimon Lab as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with hopes to leverage the power of Drosophila genetics to learn more about the genetic and molecular basis of insect-bacteria endosymbiotic partnerships.
