Dr. Sarah Hind

Sarah earned a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and a Bachelor of Arts in Russian from the University of South Carolina. She remained at the university to pursue a Ph.D. in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology under the mentorship of Dr. Johannes Stratmann. Her doctoral research focused on molecular plant-insect interactions in tomato. Following her Ph.D., Sarah moved to central New York to join the Boyce Thompson Institute at Cornell University as a postdoctoral research associate in the lab of Dr. Gregory Martin. There, her research shifted to molecular plant-microbe interactions in tomato. From 2017 to 2025, Sarah served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. During her tenure, she taught several courses, including Plant Development, The Intelligent Behavior of Plants, and the bacteriology section of Advanced Plant Pathology. She also led a research group investigating various aspects of the plant immune system in solanaceous crops and bacterial pathogenesis in cucurbit crops. Additionally, she contributed to multiple departmental and university committees focused on undergraduate education, and has also been an active member of the CROPPS team.

Sarah is excited to join the Wildcat community as an Assistant Professor of Practice in Biotechnology and Plant and Microbial Sciences in the School of Plant Sciences.
