Mia K. Markey is an American biomedical engineer and an Engineering Foundation Endowed Faculty Fellow in Engineering at University of Texas at Austin and at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Her research focus is on sex differences and the effects they leave on medical practices, including the psychosocial adjustment women who undergo mastectomies for breast cancer in order to improve their mental and physical well being. Achievements In 1998, she earned her Bachelors of Science in Computational Biology from Carnegie Mellon University. Then, in 2002, she graduated from Duke University with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and a certificate in Bioinformatics from Duke. In 2013, she won 8th Annual Society for Women's Health Research Medtronic Prize for Scientific Contributions to Women's Health. Two years later, she was awarded a Sharon A. Keillor Award, and $75,000, for "her exceptional leadership in biomedical engineering education and pioneering research that improves the quality of life of female cancer patients". Works M.P.
