Miller's research work centers on problems in the genetics and cell biology of aging in mice. Special interests include:

• analysis of genes and diets that increase life span in mice

• studies of treatments that repair immune function in old age

• relationship of cell stress resistance to extended life span in dwarf mice

• biomarkers of aging rate
