Professor Liz Miller

Professor Liz Miller joined the Division of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology within the School of Life Sciences in 2023. Liz did her PhD in Melbourne, Australia, working on intracellular traffic of plant defence proteins. In 1999 she started a post-doctoral position in Randy Schekman’s lab at the University of California, Berkeley, where she was a Jane Coffin Childs Fellow. In the Schekman lab, Liz established the mechanistic basis for capture of nascent secretory proteins into ER-derived COPII vesicles. In 2005 Liz established her independent lab in the School of Biology at Columbia University in New York. After 10 years at Columbia, Liz moved to become a Programme Leader/MRC Investigator at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, where she maintains a small lab.
