Dr. Donoghue received her B.S. in Zoology from San Diego State University in 1983, completed her M.S. from Texas A&M University in 1986 in Animal Science, and her Ph.D. in Physiology from the F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in 1991. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Smithsonian Institution, National Zoological Park in Reproductive Physiology and joined the Germplasm and Gamete Physiology Laboratory, ARS, USDA, in Beltsville, MD in 1993. Dr. Donoghue's research has focused on improving the reproductive efficiency of poultry through investigation of sperm function, sperm competition, in vitro and in vivo sperm storage. Dr. Donoghue joined the Poultry Production and Product Safety Research Unit as Research Leader in 2000. The Unit's research focuses on enhancing the food safety of poultry, reducing metabolic disease, which impacts poultry production, and developing environmentally-friendly methods to utilize poultry manure. Dr. Donoghue is an associate editor for Poultry Science and The Journal of Andrology. She was named Distinguished Young Scientist for State of Maryland in 1997. In 1999, she was awarded the USDA, ARS, Hebert L. Rothbart Outstanding Early Career Research Scientist of the Year and received the United States Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. In 2000, Dr. Donoghue was given the Hy-Line International Research Award at the Poultry Science Association's annual meeting. In 2006, Dr. Donoghue received the Helene Cecil Leadership Award during the PSA's annual meeting. This award is given to a female PSA member for scientific contributions in the field of poultry science or for significant leadership in the promotion or development opportunities for women in poultry science.
