Verified Medical Specialist & Researcher

Dr. Susan Miller, MD

Specialist in Pediatric Infectious Diseases & Virology

Dr. Susan Miller, MD is affiliated with the University of Copenhagen, working at the intersection of pediatric infectious disease, clinical virology, and the history of medicine. Her research reconstructs detailed clinical and epidemiological profiles of historically significant pathogens to inform modern pediatric care, vaccine policy, and biodefense preparedness. In her current work, she provides a comprehensive retrospective analysis of Variola major (smallpox) in pediatric populations, synthesizing historical epidemiological data, viral pathogenesis, and clinical case documentation into a peer-reviewed reference resource for infectious disease specialists and medical historians. Dr. Miller's research is grounded in the conviction that preserving rigorous clinical knowledge of eradicated diseases remains essential for global biodefense readiness and medical education, as the generation of physicians with firsthand clinical experience of such conditions diminishes.
