Katherine Cullerton is an Associate Professor in Global Health and Health Policy at the University of Queensland’s School of Public Health. Her research explores why evidence often fails to inform public health policy and examines the tactics used by the corporate sector to influence policy decisions. She also investigates how public health advocates can more effectively shape policy outcomes in Australia and internationally. A key focus of her work is understanding and managing conflicts of interest, particularly around engagement between public health researchers and the food industry. Katherine is a qualified dietitian and has worked across diverse settings, including Aboriginal health, schools, tobacco control, and national health policy.
