Dr. Anna Goldkamp received a B.S. in Animal Science from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2017. She received a M.S. in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University in 2020. Her M.S. research compared fetuses produced via artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization in bovine tissues, leading to the first transfer RNA expression atlas in bovine. In 2023, she obtained her Ph.D. in Animal Science at Oklahoma State University. Her PhD research investigated how tRNA abundance acts as a source of genetic variation which can dictate translational efficiency and proteome composition. She has published 3 first author papers and coauthored 3 additional papers. She has been recognized internationally through a travel award to Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (2022), the Neal A. Jorgenson Genome Travel Award to PAG30, the Next Generation Leadership Award to AGBT-AG 2023, and a travel award to the 2023 International Society of Animal Genetics meeting in Cape Town, South Africa.
