Annie Miller

Annie Miller is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the UWA Medical School, affiliated with the Centre for Ophthalmology and Visual Science and the Lions Eye Institute. Her work focuses on inherited retinal diseases, epigenetics, and neuroprotection in photoreceptor degeneration.

• Doctor of Philosophy (Ophthalmology and Visual Science), 2020-2024
• Master of Clinical Pathology (Haematology, Microbiology), 2020
• Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Sciences), 2017

Her research leverages mouse models and epigenetic analysis to explore therapeutic strategies for retinal degeneration. Recent work includes AAV capsid bioengineering for gene therapy and investigations into histone modifications.

Research outputs highlight collaborations with institutions like the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and Lions Eye Institute, with expertise in flow cytometry, explant cultures, and chromatin remodeling studies. Publications span therapeutic epigenetic targeting, neuroprotective treatments, and genetic mouse model validation.

Annie actively contributes to translational research, bridging molecular biology and clinical ophthalmology. Current roles include Research Associate at Lions Eye Institute (2025-present) and former positions at Harry Perkins Institute (2018-2024).
