Her work focuses on integrating science, management, and policy to enhance species resilience in a changing world.
Scholar-generated biography
Carolyn Hogg is a researcher at the University of Sydney whose work focuses on the application of genomics and molecular biology to conservation and wildlife management. Her research explores the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying adaptation, conservation, and the health of threatened species. Hogg's studies include the analysis of DNA methylation patterns, genome sequencing, and microbiome dynamics in species such as the Tasmanian devil and whales. Her work emphasizes the role of genomic tools in understanding population genetics, conservation strategies, and the impact of captivity on wildlife. Hogg also investigates the use of non-invasive sampling methods for hormone and genetic analysis in wildlife.
