Nancy Millis received a Bachelor of Agricultural Science in 1945, a Master of Agricultural Science in 1948 and a Doctorate in Science (Hon) in 1993, all from the University of Melbourne. She was awarded a Boots Research Scholarship in the UK and used it to study at the University of Bristol where she received a PhD in 1952. Her doctoral research was on microbial growth and fermentation in cider that started her lifelong interest in anything that ferments. From 1952-1988 Millis was at the Department of Microbiology at the University of Melbourne. She became senior demonstrator in 1952 and lecturer in 1954. She was awarded a personal chair in 1982 and held it until her retirement. She was awarded emeritus professor status in 1987 in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. In her time at the university, she set up the applied microbiology course and worked to link universities and industry. Millis was involved in the setting up of the Recombinant DNA Monitoring Committee in 1980. This committee was replaced in 1987 by the Genetic Manipulation Advisory Committee (GMAC), which she chaired until June 2001 when GMAC was replaced by the Gene Technology Technical Advisory Committee. Emeritus Professor Millis passed away in September 2012.
