Jeffrey Miller

Jeffrey Miller is a Research Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Biomedical Sciences at the University of New Hampshire (UNH), part of the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture. He teaches courses such as Population Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics, and their associated labs. His research focuses on genetics, ecotoxicology, and evolutionary biology, with notable work on pollution resistance in killifish and cancer genomics.

Miller holds a Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the University of California–Davis. His research spans topics including genetic adaptation to environmental pollutants, genomic analysis of cancer mechanisms, and the ecological impacts of marine pollutants. He has contributed to studies on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill's effects on aquatic life and plastic contamination in seafood.

Key research areas include: population genetics, bioinformatics applications in ecology, and the interplay between environmental stressors and genomic stability. His work often integrates field studies with molecular techniques, addressing both basic science and applied environmental challenges.

Miller’s publications highlight themes of genetic resilience to pollutants, cancer biology, and aquatic ecosystem health. He collaborates on projects involving eDNA tracking and cyanobacteria toxin detection in marine environments. No awards are listed, but his research has significant implications for ecological and human health.
