Key facts
Programme: PhD in Biomedical Science
Research topic: Interpreting Genetic Variants in the Context of Autism
Supervisor: Professor Justin O’Sullivan, Dr Theo Portlock, Dr Jessie Jacobsen (Biological Sciences) and Dr Denis Nyaga
Catriona Miller graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering from Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, specialising in biomedical and bioengineering. She is now pursuing a PhD in Biomedical Science at the Liggins Institute, focusing on genome biology. Her research explores the genetics of autism and co-occurring conditions.
Catriona’s work aims to identify genetic patterns of similarities and differences that might explain why certain conditions often occur together in autistic individuals. Learn more about her research in our Take 10 interview with Catriona.
