Miranda and I met as postdocs at NCI, bonding as people with similar career interests, and I was fortunate enough to have our lives intersect again when she came to work at Q. I feel really lucky to have known her - she was one of the most outright *impressive* people I've ever met. She was witty, quick, fun, compassionate, driven, and had so much energy. Just a pure pleasure to be around. Deepest condolences to her family and all of those who loved her. She was a great friend, colleague, and an all-around amazing human, and she will be greatly missed.

Miranda and I worked together at QIAGEN for five years. She was so many things to me but most important she was a friend and a mentor. Miranda was generous with her time and when I moved into a new management role, she was my sounding board, my go to and support. We also sat right next to each other, so we had a lot of laughs, too.

Miranda positively impacted so many people at QIAGEN and she will be missed by many. I can't imagine this world without her.

Love to her family and friends. Samantha Beres

in honor of Miranda.

Miranda hired me in her QIAGEN team in 2021 and I have come to know her only since then. But in this short duration, she had such a powerful, positive influence on my life. She was a strong and compassionate leader - someone I looked up to and do aspire to be one day. I will miss her a lot - the random chats, weirdly funny conversations, and her guidance. Miranda, you were and still are in my heart a rare gem. Rest in peace. Love and respect, Jalaj

I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Miranda for many years. She was a wonderful person, a true team player, and one of my closest friends. Her positivity and strength touched so many. She was extremely intelligent and smart, and one of the most hard-working people I have known. She was really one of the finest and most amazing people I had ever met. I relied on her both professionally and personally. Her passing is a huge loss to everyone around her and I am going to miss her very much. My sincere condolences to your family. May her soul rest in peace. Lots of love, Shibani.
