Division of Applied Veterinary Research

Biography

Mayumi Miller is a research biologist in the Division of Applied Veterinary Research, and joined the Division in 2019. She received her PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine, in 2012 in the laboratory of Dr. Edward Morrisey.  She then completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development, in 2018, in the laboratory of Dr. Brant Weinstein.

Research

Mayumi’s research activities have two main areas of focus: (1) determining the safety and efficacy of intentional genomic alterations in food and drug producing animals and (2) determining the safety of therapeutically administered stem cells and stem cell products.
