Ahn earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1985. , each in chemistry. Her dissertation topic was Transport and hydroxylation of dopamine in chromaffin granule ghosts . As a postdoctoral fellow , she worked first with Christoph de Haën at the Medical Faculty of the University of Washington, then with Edwin Krebs at the Faculty of Pharmacology .

Ahn has been a faculty member at the University of Colorado Boulder since 1992. From 1994 to 2014 she also conducted research for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute . Since 2003 she has been the deputy director of the BioFrontiers Institute at CU Boulder.

Ahn dealt with the effect of growth factors and mitogens on the enzyme activity of protein kinases , especially the MAP kinase pathway, and on the molecular biological level with the mechanisms of phosphorylation and autophosphorylation . Her work Signal Transduction through MAP Kinase Cascades has been cited more than 2000 times (as of June 2018). Most recently, her field of work shifted to functional proteomics and protein dynamics in connection with cancer growth and metastasis .

In 1993 Ahn was a Searle Fellow . From 2016 to 2018 she was President of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology , followed by Gerald Hart , who took this position in 2018.
