Kathy Darragh

I’m an incoming Assistant Professor (2024) in the Department of Biology at Indiana University Bloomington. I was born in Northern Ireland and did both my undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Cambridge (UK), where I worked on the chemical ecology of Heliconius butterflies. I then moved to the US to do a postdoc at UC Davis working with orchid bees, and more recently the spiral gingers (Costus), again focusing chemical evolution in these groups.
