Miller, Nancy S. - Boston University

研究领域

My present focus is translational research as applied to innovative or improved diagnostics for microbiology and infectious diseases. As clinical co-investigator, I collaborate with several principal investigators from the BUMC and BU campuses. In addition, I am the PI for a variety of industry-related projects involved in developing and testing new diagnostic devices. The BMC clinical Microbiology Laboratory supports various validations and method-comparison studies of interest to clinical microbiology. The laboratory also supports a variety of BUMC faculty who are engaged in clinical research protocols. We actively seek collaboration for quality-improvement projects and clinical case reports
