Richard A. Miller, MD, PhD

Richard A. Miller, M.D., Ph.D., is a Professor of Pathology at the University of Michigan, and the Director of Michigan’s Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research. He received the BA degree in 1971 from Haverford College, and MD and PhD degrees from Yale University in 1976-1977. After postdoctoral studies at Harvard and Sloan-Kettering, he moved to Boston University in 1982 and then to his current position at Michigan in 1990. Dr. Miller has served in a variety of editorial and advisory positions on behalf of the American Federation for Aging Research and the National Institute on Aging, and served as one of the Editors-in-Chief of Aging Cell. He is the recipient of the Nathan Shock Award, the AlliedSignal Award, the Irving Wright Award, an award from the Glenn Foundation, and the Kleemeier Award for aging research. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a Member of the Association of American Physicians. At Michigan, he directs the Geriatrics Center’s Biogerontology program, and the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research. His research program focuses on the search for molecular and cellular mechanisms shared by multiple varieties of slow-aging mice, and using these clues to identify new drugs that can slow aging and postpone late-life disease.
