Dr. Stephen Miller received his Ph.D. in 1975 from Pennsylvania State University and completed postdoctoral training at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center before joining the faculty at Northwestern University in 1981. He currently serves as the Director of the Northwestern University Interdepartmental Immunobiology Center. Dr. Miller is internationally recognized for his research on the pathogenesis and regulation of autoimmune diseases. He has published over 415 journal articles, reviews, and book chapters and has mentored multiple generations of scientists. His work has significantly enhanced the understanding of immune and inflammatory processes underlying chronic autoimmune diseases, utilizing animal models of multiple sclerosis, Type 1 diabetes, and celiac disease. Dr. Miller's research focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in developing antigen-specific immune tolerance for T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. His current research is directed toward translating the use of antigen-linked biodegradable PLG nanoparticles as a treatment for human immune-mediated diseases, including autoimmunity, allergy, protein gene replacement therapy, and tissue/organ transplantation.
