Ms. Jacqueline Rose Miller is an emerging biomedical researcher specializing in infectious diseases, bioethics, and molecular biology, with an interdisciplinary focus that bridges biochemistry, virology, and clinical research ethics. Her scholarly trajectory reflects a strong commitment to advancing understanding of viral pathogenesis, metabolic regulation, and the ethical implications of biomedical innovation. She has contributed to research in the Department of Medicine (Infectious Disease) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where her work in the Striker Laboratory explored the molecular mechanisms of viral oncogenesis, focusing on HIV and HPV and their associations with cancer development. Her research experience also includes lipid metabolism and genetic regulation studies within the Ntambi Laboratory (Department of Biochemistry), where she examined the physiological impacts of stearoyl-CoA desaturase gene modulation on diet-induced metabolic changes. These projects culminated in presentations at major scientific conferences, including the DiscoverBMB Conference organized by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, where she received a Student Chapters Travel Award. Currently, as a Clinical Research Coordinator in Infectious Disease and a Research Intern under Dr. Karola Kreitmair in the Department of Medical History & Bioethics, Miller is investigating the ethical dimensions of human brain surrogates addressing the use of organoids, chimeras, and ex-vivo tissues in research. Her first-author manuscript on this topic is being prepared for submission to Neuroethics (Springer). With 2 peer-reviewed publications, 4 total citations, and collaborations spanning 19 co-authors, Miller demonstrates growing scientific impact and collaborative breadth. Her research integrates empirical science with ethical reflection, aiming to inform responsible innovation in biomedical research. Through her multidisciplinary work, she contributes to bridging laboratory discoveries with clinical practice and ethical governance, reinforcing the essential connection between science, humanity, and healthcare progress.
