Ashley Wiltsie has several years of research experience in various scientific fields. From September 2015 to May 2018, they worked as an Undergraduate Student Researcher at the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics, where they focused on studying the effects of the absence of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) on naturally occurring genetic variants in fruit flies. During this time, they identified specific premature stop codons (PTCs) that significantly altered the viability of tested lines.

In May 2016 to June 2017, they worked as an Undergraduate Researcher at the University of Utah Biology Department, specifically in Dr. Franz Goller's Lab. Here, they focused on studying bioacoustics and the influence of sound amplification on male finch perch preference behavior in zebra finches.

From April 2017 to August 2017, they worked as a Conservatory Intern at Tracy Aviary, where they assisted with the 2017 North American Breeding Bird Survey, recording and analyzing data from aviary trip reports and promoting avian conservation and recovery.

From May 2018 to October 2019, they worked as a Research Technician at the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics at the University of Utah, contributing to research aimed at identifying genetic mutations responsible for altering sperm competition in C. elegans.

Ashley Wiltsie's most recent position is as a Research Associate II at BioFire Defense since November 2019. Further details about this role are not provided.
