Dr. Miller is a structural biologist who is investigating the three-dimensional structures, conformational transitions and intermolecular interactions of proteins and nucleic acids. She played a critical role in solving the crystal structures of proteases from the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) retroviruses. She received both her M.Sc. (physics, 1971) and Ph.D. (biophysics, 1979) from the University of Warsaw, Poland, under the direction of Professor David Shugar. After a year participating in a research training program in protein crystallography at the National Insitutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, she obtained further postdoctoral training at the University of Texas at Austin. For the next three years (1984-1987) Dr. Miller was a guest scientist at the National Bureau of Standards. In 1987, Dr. Miller joined the ABL-Basic Research Program at the NCI’s Frederick campus as a Scientist Associate and was promoted to Scientist in 1991. In 1999, she became a member of the Protein Structure Section, Macromolecular Structure Laboratory, CCR.

Dr Miller co-authored sixty publications, including papers that appeared in Nature, Science, PNAS and other specialized high impact journals that have been the subject of over 4000 citations.
