Nick Miller Scientific Services
Life sciences services in experimental design, data analysis and communication
About me
I have been a scientist and educator for 25 years. I have been lucky to work on and lead a broad portfolio of life science research in labs throughout the United Sates and Europe. I have published over 40 scientific papers and was a Subject Editor for the journal Environmental Entomology for eight years. I have developed and taught classes at the University of Nebraska, the University of California Davis, the University of Illinois Chicago and Illinois Tech, where I was a tenured Associate Professor.
I love helping others design and analyze experiments, and craft effective scientific communications to tell the stories of their discoveries.

Services
Biostatistics
I offer a range of bespoke services including:
- Experimental design
- Power analysis
- Statistical analysis of field, lab and greenhouse studies
I work closely with my clients to ensure experiments meet their needs and budgets and their data target their questions of interest.
Bioinformatics
Sequencing experiments can get expensive. I can help you design sequencing studies that get you the answers you need in a cost-effective way. If you have sequencing data I can help you make sense of it, including:
- Genome and metagenome assembly and annotation
- Variant calling
- Gene expression
- Epigenetics
Science Communication
Whether you are preparing an elevator pitch or writing a paper, I can help you craft your message to reach your audience. I offer individual coaching and classes for groups.
