Mikovits received her BA degree in chemistry from the University of Virginia In 1980 In 1980, Mikovits was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry with a specialization in biology at the University of Virginia. After graduation, she went to the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland, where she developed purification methods for Interferon alpha.
Served at Upjohn Pharmaceuticals in Kalamazoo, Michigan from 1986 to 1987 as a laboratory technician and departed subsequent to a dispute with the company relating to their bovine growth hormone product
In 1988, she worked as a laboratory technician at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Frederick, Maryland under Francis Ruscetti, who later served as her PhD supervisor and in 1991 she received a PhD in biochemistry from George Washington University Her PhD thesis was titled "Negative Regulation of HIV Expression in Monocytes.
Mikovits worked as postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of David Derse from 1993 to 1994 By 1996, Mikovits was employed as a scientist at Ruscetti’s Laboratory of Leukocyte Biology at the NCI In May 2001, Mikovits left the NCI to work at EpiGenX Biosciences in Santa Barbara, CA, a drug-discovery company, she became the Research Director of the CFS research organization Whittemore Peterson Institute (WPI) from 2006-2011
As research director Mikovits led a research effort that reported in 2009 that a retrovirus known as xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was associated with CFS and may have had a causal role., she became embroiled in controversy after she published 09 paper and was fired from the Whittemore Peterson Institute in 2011
On November 18, 2011, she was arrested in her Ventura County, California, home and jailed for five days based on WPI's allegations that she stole lab notebooks, a computer, and other material. She was held temporarily pursuant to that case and her lawyer said the charges had no merit The criminal charges brought against Mikovits by Washoe County, Nevada, were dismissed by the District Attorney and Assistant District Attorney in Reno, Nevada November 28,, 2011
[The Washington Post later reported that the Whittemore family's legal troubles prevented the Washoe County from pursuing the case Harvey Whittemore was sent to prison in 2014 for violating campaign finance laws relating to U.S. Senator Harry Reid’s re-election bid in 2007. Prior to his release the family was sued by Bank of the West as a result of a transfer of their Lake Tahoe beachfront home to their children ]
Mikovits went on to participate, alongside two other research groups, in a larger 2012 study with 147 CFS patients and 146 controls. The study concluded that there was no evidence of XMRV or MLV infection in either group, a result that Mikovits said was "the definitive answer" on the issue
