Catherine Grueber's research focuses on the evolutionary processes that impact individual and population-level genetic diversity in small animal populations. She aims to develop new methodologies for measuring and mitigating the loss of genetic diversity critical for species conservation. Her technical expertise includes molecular population genetics and understanding the evolutionary implications of genetic diversity loss, including its effects on captive breeding, inbreeding depression, and genetic rescue. Grueber employs modeling approaches for hypothesis testing in evolutionary genetics and aligns with the Faculty of Science's research strengths in areas like biodiversity conservation and climate change. Her contributions to genetics research have been recognized with numerous awards, including the Alan Wilton Prize and the DG Catcheside Prize, reflecting her significant impact on the field during her early career. Grueber has also received recognition as a leading reviewer in prominent journals like Molecular Ecology.
