Reddy Translational Research Endowed Professor, Division Director, Neuropathology, has been appointed inaugural assistant program leader of the UAB O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Neuro-Oncology Program, effective February 1, 2025.

The goal of this initiative is to provide leadership training and experience for individuals who have an interest in leadership. The program allows participants to integrate into different leadership activities in their programs and in the broader cancer center in addition to taking leadership courses at UAB.

Miller’s research focus is gliomas, the most common and malignant primary brain tumor. Specifically, he uses molecular, genetic, neurobiological, genomic, and proteomic approaches to dissect the effect of cellular origin, intracellular signaling networks, and tumor microenvironment on glioma biology.

Natalie Gassman, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Pathology, assisted in developing this initiative.
