Molly Mills studies how antibiotic resistance genes and microbial communities spread and persist in environmental settings such as drinking water sources, rivers, and biofilms, with particular attention to cyanobacteria (blue-green algae blooms) and waterborne bacteria. Her work combines environmental microbiology and public health perspectives to understand contamination risks in water systems. A smaller portion of her publication record also includes animal welfare research on horse housing and physiology, suggesting some interdisciplinary breadth.
