Dr.
Kristi Miller is the head of the Molecular
Genetics Section of the Pacific Biological
Station (PBS) with the Canadian Department
of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and has an
adjunct professorship with the University
of British Columbia in the Department of
Forest Sciences. She received her Master's
degree from the University of British Columbia
and PhD from Stanford University.
In addition to functional genomics research
on salmon migration, Dr. Miller has a long
standing interest in the salmon immune system,
with projects on adaptive genetic variation
of major histocompatability complex (MHC)
genes, genetic susceptibility of salmon
to pathogens, and the characterization of
effective immune responses using functional
genomics approaches. She also works
with the aquaculture industry on biomarkers
for stress, development of quantitative
molecular assays to assess pathogen exposure,
and the elucidation of genes associated
with production traits. The strategic
goal of her research program is to provide
genetic and genomic advice and tools to
aid in the sustainability of aquatic resources.
