Brandon joined Indigo in July 2018. There, he works to source microbes from the environment and understand and predict how those microbes can be applied to promote the growth and health of agricultural crops. For more than 10 years, Brandon has used bioinformatic methodologies to ask fundamental questions about the microbial communities that live within our oceans, rivers, and plants. He received his PhD in Microbiology from the University of Georgia, after which he worked as a post-doctoral researcher at MIT.
