Cameron Egan is an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Southern California, affiliated with the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. Previously, he served as a College Professor in the Department of Biology at Okanagan College (2019–2023) and held an Adjunct Professorship at the University of British Columbia – Okanagan Campus (2021–present). His research focuses on plant-fungal symbioses, particularly mycorrhizal diversity across ecosystems, integrating fields like community ecology, mycology, and bioinformatics. He teaches courses in organismal biology, ecology, and biodiversity.
Education: B.Sc. Biology and Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia – Okanagan Campus, followed by postdoctoral training at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (2017–2019).
Research interests emphasize the ecological and functional aspects of mycorrhizal fungi, including their roles in plant health, dispersal mechanisms, and responses to environmental gradients. His work spans North American ecosystems, including elevation gradients in Glacier National Park and studies in Hawaiian reforestation contexts.
Teaching responsibilities include introductory and advanced biology courses at Okanagan College, covering organismal biology, evolution, and ecology. While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his contributions to mycology and ecological research are evident through his publication record.
Advising and grants are not detailed in the provided text, but his research involves collaborative projects on symbiotic relationships, microbial community dynamics, and ecological restoration.
