Dr. Miller’s research program is focused on investigating the impact of environmental exposures (air pollution, allergens, microbes) on pulmonary and immune system development during the first year of life. She uses both cell culture approaches and animal models to address questions related to mucosal immune mechanisms primarily in pediatric populations, with an emphasis on understanding the etiology of chronic respiratory disease in adults.
