Megan LeBlanc, PhD

Megan LeBlanc - Ag Metrics Group

Reporting

Reporting Manager
​Reporting & Data Analysis
Megan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biology and a Masters in Biotechnology from Fresno State, and a PhD in Plant Pathology, Physiology and Weed Science from Virginia Tech. In her early career, she worked on environmental stress responses on Bt cotton field research at Dow AgroSciences, as well as field, lab and greenhouse trial work. In graduate school she received an NSF Fellowship for interdisciplinary study and worked to characterize RNA mobility between plants.  Currently, she manages data processing for all our sites and summarizes reports across the United States with complete statistical analysis and professional presentation of results for a wide array of field and lab trials. She is a member of the American Phytopathology Association. 

Megan LeBlanc is a published agricultural researcher whose work has contributed to the scientific literature in plant pathology, entomology, RNA mobility, pesticide research, and crop protection. Her research has been cited extensively by the scientific community and supports Ag Metrics Group's commitment to generating reliable, decision-ready data for agricultural innovation.

Research Interests
  • Plant Pathology
  • Entomology
  • RNA Mobility
  • Pesticide Research
  • Crop Protection
  • Agricultural Science
  • Scientific Data Analysis

Selected Scientific Publications
  • Genomic-scale exchange of mRNA between a parasitic plant and its hosts (Science, 2014)
  • RNA trafficking in parasitic plant systems (Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012)
  • Quantification of tomato and Arabidopsis mobile RNAs trafficking into the parasitic plant Cuscuta pentagona (New Phytologist, 2013)
  • Optoperforation of single, intact Arabidopsis cells for uptake of extracellular dye-conjugated dextran (Optics Express, 2012)
  • Genomics approaches to parasitic plant research (Phytopathology, 2011)

Her experience as both a published researcher and scientific reporting specialist enables her to transform complex experimental data into clear, technically sound reports that support product development, regulatory submissions, and informed decision-making.
