Biography
Christine Miller is a full-time Lecturer of Chemistry and Biology at Harrisburg University. She is passionate about helping students develop confidence in science through engaging, hands-on learning experiences that connect classroom concepts to real-world applications. Whether teaching molecular biology, organic chemistry, or laboratory techniques, her goal is to empower students to think critically, embrace curiosity, and experience the rewarding "aha" moment when challenging concepts finally click.
Before joining Harrisburg University, Christine spent nearly a decade as a molecular biologist conducting research in cancer biology and developmental biology. Her expertise spans molecular and cell biology, genome engineering, and CRISPR/Cas9 technologies, with current scholarly interests at the intersection of genetic engineering and computational biology.
Christine has co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in leading scientific journals, including Science Advances, Cell, Nature Communications, and PLoS Genetics, reflecting her contributions to advances in genome editing, cancer biology, and functional genomics. She brings this real-world research experience into the classroom, helping students understand how emerging technologies in genome engineering and computational biology are transforming biomedical science.
She earned a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, a Master of Science in Tumor Biology from Georgetown University, and a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Biochemistry from Towson University. She also completed the Johns Hopkins Teaching Academy Certificate, reflecting her commitment to evidence-based teaching and student success.
Above all, Christine is dedicated to mentoring students and paying forward the guidance and encouragement she received throughout her own academic and professional journey. She believes the best learning happens when students are empowered to ask questions, think independently, and discover their own passion for science.
