Its official as of today - I am now an Associate Professor with Tenure at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte Dept of Bioinformatics & Genomics. A promise to my father - 20 years ago this Jan is finally complete. Never give up on your dreams - believe. #tenure

Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) outreach at Discovery Place yesterday. We had 171 visitors at our booths today. We will continue to educate the public about diseases and immune responses. At Discovery Place every 3rd Saturday of the month. #microsky #bats #Stem Great job team!

Most RNA-seq pipelines are doing this wrong. They run differential expression… and stop there. You’re leaving biological signal on the table. I built pygage to fix that 👇 pip install pygage #Bioinformatics #rnaseq #computation #computationalbiology

Thanks for the repost

Congratulations to my student Josh Hensley and our amazing collaborators at UCSD David Pride lab! In press today, we developed a technique to evolve phages to broaden bacterial host range to tackle bacteria that evade antibiotics. #phagesky #phage #microsky #virussky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Are these articles AI generated about our paper on phage G? Not even a phage shape. It looks like a CoV or InfA. #phage #phagesky Here is the real article about it cci.charlotte.edu/2025/10/10/c... Bioengineer - AI? bioengineer.org/decoding-the... Scienmag - AI? scienmag.com/decoding-the...

We’re happy to announce Dr. Lennard Stach!! 🥳🥳 Well done Lennard for a brilliant defense and thesis!! We will miss you! Finally, thank you @leeselab.bsky.social for sitting in the thesis committee! 🫶

Congratulations to Andra and Stephanie, master’s students in the lab, whose manuscript has been accepted for publication in Nature NPJ Viruses. Their study reports the multiomic characterization of the largest bacteriophage maintained in culture.

Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) outreach. 591 visitors at our booths today. This month we just crossed over 6,000 local Charlotte visitors to our booths since October 2024! At Discovery Place every 3rd Saturday of the month. #BITE #teamraw #rawlab Great job team!

RAW Lab picture day! Summer 2025 Thank you @morgancarterphd.bsky.social for the photo. Missing TJ but it is what is. #teamraw #rawlab

Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) at Discovery Place today. Around 366 visitors at our booths today. We will continue to educate the public about bats, rodents, infectious diseases, and immune responses. At Discovery Place every 3rd Saturday of the month. #BITE #teamraw #rawlab

Lots of secondary metabolite clusters, a plasmid that appears to be lost or transferred, weird ANI boundaries, something for everyone! We were also lucky that our neighbors in the @raw937.bsky.social lab looked for prophage in these endosymbionts. Did not think they would be there but they are!

New from the Carter Lab! Led by @bhuwanabbot.bsky.social, we sequenced almost twice as many complete genomes as were available for the endofungal Mycetohabitans genus. Unsurprisingly, they are a little weird, giving us insight into endosymbiotic genome changes 🧬 🦠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) at Discovery place today. A busier day today with 375 visitors at our booths. We will continue to educate the public about bats, rodents, infectious diseases, and immune responses. At Discovery place every 3rd Saturday of the month.

Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) at Discovery place on Saturday. A slow day, only 232 visitors. We continue to educate the public about bats, rodents, infectious diseases, and immune response. At Discovery place every 3rd Saturday of the month.

Thank you Mike Cove and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences to host Bat Immunology Training Education (BITE) outreach. We had over 256 people visitors to our booths with preparation of samples. We will be at NCMNS in Raleigh (our state capital) four times a year (quarterly).

Representing UNC Charlotte internationally here in Essen Germany. The #ZWUWaterDay2025! My talk, "Elucidating Microbialites to Resolve Ancient Aquatic Ecosystems", will take us on a journey through time. #WaterResearch #Microbialites #AquaticEcosystems #Unccharlotte #Charlotte #ZWU

Super happy to be hosting Prof. Richard Allen White III AKA @raw937.bsky.social from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte at @unidue.bsky.social for 3 surprisingly sunny weeks!! Great to have you around Rick!! 🦠🧬

Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 Morgan!!

Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 🎊 to Dr. Madeline Bellanger, the first PhD student to successfully defend her PhD in the my lab (RAW lab). Well done, Madeline Bellanger !

my first PhD student will be defending her thesis tomorrow.

I have successfully cloned myself. We are borg. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. #startek

Cell death (understudied in bats) is a phenomenal process that plays a role in controlling the spread of virus infection, among many other important roles. Read the latest on this here. @keshu-vrimmch.bsky.social #LZCI journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

The Bat Immunology Training Education (BITE) team is at Discovery Place in Charlotte, North Carolina. Today was a slow day, with only 337 visitors. We continue to volunteer in North Carolina, educating the public about bats, rodents, immunology, and ecology.
