ALS Research
The Miller Lab seeks to understand the pathogenesis of ALS with basic studies focused on SOD1, C9ORF72, TBK-1, miRNA, protein misfolding, protein kinetics, and genetic modifiers of disease. We employ RNA-targeted therapeutic strategies, mainly using antisense oligonucleotides.
Dementia Research
The Miller Lab studies how the various isoforms of the protein tau affect neurodegeneration. We employ RNA-targeted therapeutic strategies using antisense oligonucleotides to develop therapies for dementias involving the tau protein as well as for TREM-2.
