Theresa Culley is a professor of plant biology at the University of Cincinnati, where she has taught a course in Medical Botany for over 20 years. Now team-taught with Dr. Eric Tepe, this undergraduate course has become one of the most popular upper-level elective classes for students within the biology department. In this course, Theresa indulges her interest in medicine, intertwined with her fascination for botany and history. Theresa’s botanical research at UC focuses on the conservation biology of endangered plant species (mainly in the Hawaiian Islands) as well as the genetic identity and reproductive biology of invasive ornamental plant species.
