Francis J. Miller, Jr., M.D.
Associate Professor
Dr. Miller's clinical interests include cardiology inpatient and outpatient services and diagnostic cardiac catheterization. His research interests focus on the role of reactive oxygen species in vascular disease. Studies are directed at (1) the detection of reactive oxygen species in blood vessels and cultured vascular cells, (2) determining the cellular source of reactive oxygen species in vascular cells, with particular attention to NADPH oxidase, and (3) examining the physiologic importance of increased reactive oxygen species in smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis.
