She is a director of the Pediatric Clerkship for the School of Medicine, the director of the Ethics Consult Service at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, the chair of Children’s Hospital’s Ethics Committee, and the research facilitator for the University’s Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Biller received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University and her Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She completed a pediatric residency at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, a chief residency in pediatrics at Mercy Children’s Medical Center in Pittsburgh and was the assistant director of that residency program for two years before entering private practice. She left clinical practice in 2007 to study bioethics at the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Bioethics and Health Law but was unable to complete that program after the unexpected death of her husband. In 2008 she joined the faculty of the School of Medicine. She is the recipient of the School of Medicine’s Clerkship Preceptor of the Year Award and the Children’s Hospital Patient Satisfaction Award. Biller is a clinician and medical educator specifically interested in the intersection of ethics, information technology and precision medicine. In addition to her primary role as a clinical teacher, she provides ethics education for medical students, resident physicians, fellows, and faculty. She has presented workshops on clinical ethics for the Southwestern Pennsylvania Consortium Ethics Program, and at national meetings for the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities and the Pediatric Academic Society. She serves as the ethics consultant for multiple data and safety monitoring boards, provides guidance on the ethical conduct of research through Pitt’s Clinical and Translational Science Institute, and is a member of the University’s Institutional Review Board.
