Research Focus
Dr. Rachel L Miller's lab focuses on understanding how prenatal and early life environmental exposures affect children's health, particularly concerning asthma and ADHD. The lab's research examines various physical, chemical, and social exposures that may contribute to these conditions, aiming to identify ways to improve prevention, treatment, and intervention strategies for affected children. By utilizing a large population cohort, the lab aims to generate impactful insights that will enhance clinical practices in pediatric health.
