Dr. Mills' research centers on proteostasis in aging processes and cell-specific lipid droplets' contributions to healthspan and lifespan. Her lab projects focus on defining lipid droplets' role in aging and developing disease interventions through lipid droplet modulation. She integrates research into classroom instruction through Course-based Research Experiences using C. elegans as a model organism.

Her expertise spans Biology of Aging, Cell Biology, Molecular Physiology, Genetics, and Vertebrate Anatomy & Physiology, with active contributions to undergraduate research education at BSU.
