Bio
Steven J. Miller, PhD, joined the faculty at IU School of Medicine in July of 2004, where he is an associate professor of surgery within the Division of Vascular Surgery, and an adjunct appointment in the Department of Anatomy, Cell Biology and Physiology. He received his PhD from the IU Department of Biochemistry and completed a postdoctoral fellowship under Dr. Nils Bang in the Department of Medicine. Prior to coming to IU School of Medicine, Dr. Miller spent 10 years at IU Health Methodist Hospital where he began as an assistant scientist in reproductive and transplantation immunology, and later became an associate investigator in the IU Health Methodist Research Institute (MRI).

While at IU Health MRI, Dr. Miller's research interests included transplant vasculopathy, specifically the role of glycosaminoglycans and antithrombin in endothelial dysfunction and resultant microinfarctions due to fibrin deposition. His current research interests are focused on studying the mechanisms responsible for the delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE) associated with the cardiovascular system, especially the coronary arteries. A second area of interest is the use of cellular therapy to prevent or reverse the effects of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), including critical limb threatening ischemia. Dr. Miller has served as principal or co-principal investigator on over 18 research projects, most recently as the PI on an NIH R01 award and as co-PI on a U01, and has more than 35 peer-reviewed publications.
