Gina Wimp is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Georgetown University. She has a B.S. in Ecology from Baylor University, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Biology from Northern Arizona University.

Her research focuses on two integrative areas of biology; community genetics and landscape community ecology. In particular, she is interested in the extent to which genetic traits in plants may affect larger patterns of community structure in the invertebrates that depend upon these plants for survival. Through the use of manipulative field experiments, she hopes to discover the mechanisms that promote diversity on larger, landscape-level scales to aid in conservation and restoration efforts.
