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.
