About our speaker…

Jon Miller is a fifth year M.D. / Ph.D. student at Georgetown University School of Medicine. Miller graduated from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh in 2006 with a dual bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry. Prior to entering Georgetown, he spent a year as a Cancer Research Training Award Fellow at the National Cancer Institute (NIH). His thesis research focuses on the role of telomeres and telomerase in cancer and will earn him a Ph.D. in tumor biology. Miller will graduate with his dual doctoral degrees in 2014 and hopes to eventually practice pediatric oncology, splitting his time in the hospital and the laboratory in order to bridge the problems seen at the bedside with potential solutions found at the bench. Miller considers his Catholic faith his most central identifier, seeking theological discussion and spiritual experiences that equip him to more readily love and serve God and others. He was born and raised in Pittsburgh and returns multiple times a year to renew relationships with family and friends. A huge sports fan, he bleeds black and gold, following the Pirates, Penguins and Steelers closely.
