Research
Dr. Miller is interested in understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms driving the development and progression of primary brain tumors, particularly IDH-mutant gliomas and glioblastoma. Her recent research has focused on the disruption of normal metabolism that is observed in IDH-mutant gliomas, with the goal of developing new drugs and treatment strategies to more effectively treat patients with these tumors. She has also been exploring the molecular changes that occur in IDH-mutant gliomas following chemotherapy exposure to better understand mechanisms of resistance and develop ways to prolong the clinical benefit of chemotherapy.

MHB almost always fails to forward my images CD to my provider via US mail. Also the system for imaging providers to electronically send these records to you is complicated and an epic failure.
Dr. Julie Miller is an excellent, skilled, and incredibly compassionate care provider. I feel very fortunate to be under her care.
5 Star Visit
She listens, explains and takes the time to answer questions
I need a little bit more time to recuperate so that way I can professionally put a reference about the whole situation, the treatment, the doctors, the nurses. I will definitely write back to you guys. Thank you.
Dr. Miller combined her medical expertise with warmth and humor.
Incredibly compassionate and well coordinated care. I look forward to working with this provider
