Catherine Grueber

Catherine Grueber is an Associate Professor in the BIO department at The University of Sydney. Her research interests include Ecology, Genetic immunology, Genetics, Population ecology, and Genomics. Her work focuses on understanding how evolutionary and population processes influence genetic diversity in small populations, with an emphasis on developing techniques to measure and mitigate diversity loss in conservation. Her technical strengths lie in molecular population genetics, the evolutionary consequences of genetic diversity loss, and modelling approaches for hypothesis testing in evolutionary genetics.

Catherine E Grueber is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney, specializing in Population Genetics, Conservation Biology, and Evolution. Her research focuses on understanding genetic diversity, inbreeding depression, and the evolutionary mechanisms underlying conservation challenges. She investigates the genetic basis of adaptation, the impact of genetic drift on immune systems, and the role of population structure in species survival. Her work includes studies on koalas, Tasmanian devils, and other threatened species, emphasizing the importance of genetic diversity in conservation strategies. Grueber's research contributes to global biodiversity frameworks and informs conservation genomics practices.
