Research Profile

The Miller Lab operates as two parallel, but integrated branches. The first takes an in vivo approach to the neurobiology of memory, connecting behavior, circuits and molecular and cellular mechanisms to identify potential therapeutic targets in neuropsychiatric disorders with a memory component, such as substance use disorders and PTSD. The complementary side of my lab is focused on assay development, drug discovery and development, seeded by our basic research efforts, with a focus on molecular nanomotors. The latter has also led us to apply our therapeutics to cancers, such as glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer, to simultaneously prevent tumor cell proliferation and invasion/metastasis.
