Catherine Cullingham is an Assistant Professor in Plant Population Genetics in the Department of Biology at Carleton University. Her research uses genetic and genomic approaches to applied problems in forestry and wildlife management. The focus of her current work is understanding the future spread risk of mountain pine beetle, a bark beetle that infests a number of pine species in North America. While, her current focus is in forestry, she is also interested in chronic wasting disease spread in deer species and conservation genetics of prairie mammals.
