About me
Dr Georget Reaiche-Miller completed her PhD in Virology and
Viral Immunology at the School of Molecular and Biomedical Science, The
University of Adelaide, in 2008. She joined the Hepatitis Research Group as a
postdoctoral researcher, where she worked until 2014. Her research resulted in
three book chapters and numerous peer-reviewed publications. During this time,
she led research activities, supervised Honours and PhD students, prepared
publications and grant applications, and managed the laboratory’s OGTR,
Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) and quarantine requirements.
In March 2014, Dr Reaiche-Miller was appointed Manager of
the Adelaide Biobank, a purpose-built biorepository that provides secure,
long-term storage of biological and environmental research materials. Now as
Senior Manager, she oversees facility operations, infrastructure planning,
biospecimen management, governance, compliance and research support activities,
with a focus on the security, integrity and traceability of stored collections.
A major component of her role involves identifying and
mitigating risks associated with storing irreplaceable research materials.
Working closely with the Colleges, Risk, Insurance, Estates and Facilities, and
other university stakeholders, she has contributed to strengthening risk
management frameworks, emergency response arrangements and business continuity
plans for cold-storage infrastructure. Her experience includes developing
strategies for controlled environment device failures, alarm and monitoring
systems, contingency plans to protect valuable research collections.
Dr Reaiche-Miller played a key role in the development and
implementation of university-wide policies and procedures for controlled
environment devices and cold-storage facilities. Working with research and
operational stakeholders, she was instrumental in developing the Adelaide
University Controlled Environment Devices and Storage Policy and associated
procedures, establishing a consistent framework for managing risks associated
with ultra-cold freezers, cryogenic facilities and other controlled environment
devices. She also played a key role in the planning, design and development of
three of the four Adelaide Biobank facilities, providing specialist expertise
in infrastructure, operational workflows, storage capacity, biospecimen
management and risk mitigation to ensure facilities are fit for purpose,
efficient and responsive to long-term research needs.
Dr Reaiche-Miller Chairs the South
Australian Biobanking Technical Reference Group, an active member of the
International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories (ISBER) and
has served as Vice President and President of the Australasian Biospecimen
Network Association (ABNA). Through these roles, she has contributed to the
advancement of biobanking through professional leadership, collaboration and
the promotion of best practice in biobanking standards, governance and infrastructure.
