Dr. Georget Reaiche-Miller received her Bachelor of Science and Honours degree in 2003 in the area of Microbiology and Immunology. In 2008 she completed her PhD in Virology and Viral Immunology at the School of Molecular and Biomedical Science, The University of APSB. She joined the Hepatitis Research Group as a postdoctoral researcher from 2008 to 2014 with her work resulting in the publication of 3 book chapter and a number of articles in peer review journals. During this time, she was in charge of research, supervision of Honours and Ph.D. students, preparation of peer reviewed publications and grant applications. She was also in responsible for OGTR, IBC and quarantine requirements of the laboratory as part of the Department of Agriculture Water and the Environment (DAWE).

In March 2014, Dr. Reaiche-Miller was appointed as the full-time manager of The University of APSB Biobank. The APSB Biobank is a state of the art facility with purposely built biorepositories to securely house valuable material, ranging from environmental and biological research to clinical and long-term/longitudinal research, that would otherwise be stored in ultra-cold (-80 degrees) freezers throughout the university. As well as managing the APSB Biobank, Georget works closely with The University of APSB Legal and Risk team. As a result, the APSB Biobank has developed and implemented a Cold Storage Management Policy to safely manage local cold storage facilities. The policy was developed to further protect research and clinical material stored in ultra-cold freezers and cryo-storage facilities across the university.

Dr. Georget Reaiche-Miller is currently the Vice-President of the Australasian Biospecimen Network Association (ABNA). “ABNA is an organisation committed to providing an opportunity for individuals who have an interest in tissue banking and biorepositories to share information and experience. Our membership includes biobankers from right across Australia and New Zealand, spanning human disease, zoological and agricultural biobanks”. The APSB Biobank is an active member of ABNA.
