Olga Amelkina is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Center for Species Survival. Amelkina’s research employs transcriptomic technologies to investigate the gonadal tissue response to various preservation protocols. She uses the functional networks created from transcriptomic data to better understand the complex response of tissue to non-physiological stresses and to provide directions for studies and improvements of biobanking techniques that can be used in conservation efforts of endangered species.
