About

Dr. Miller’s research interests include the use of molecular methodologies to understand the basis of clinical treatment failures and inaccurate laboratory diagnoses with regard to infectious diseases. She is interested in the use of molecular technology to develop more accurate, cost-effective, and timely laboratory tests. Many of these clinical assays are used as research tools to address specific infectious disease questions, such as the prevalence and epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance. In addition, she is interested in the application of molecular techniques in the diagnosis of tuberculosis and respiratory viral diseases and outcome studies aimed at measuring the clinical and financial impact of new diagnostic tests and algorithms.
