Carolina Corredor, Ph.D. in Agroecology and Agricultural Microbiologist, specializes in cannabis cultivation, plant physiology, plant–microbe interactions, and seed viability. With over six years of teaching experience in biology and microbiology, her research focuses on optimizing sustainable cannabis production for cannabinoids, fiber, and grain. As a Visiting Research Scholar and Postdoctoral Researcher, she has investigated the role of beneficial microbes in nutrient uptake, pathogen suppression, phosphorus-solubilizing microbes, and how environmental factors like humidity affect plant growth and cannabinoid yield. Her work also includes rhizomicrobiome successions through plant growth stages, and the impact of seed aging on germination and biochemical quality.
