Clinical Care
Overview
I. George Miller, MD, is a pediatric infectious diseases specialist who has a particular interest in the prevention and treatment of viral diseases.
Dr. Miller treats children at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital and in outpatient clinics and is an active researcher who has studied and published numerous papers on many viruses including poliovirus, measles, vaccinia, herpes simplex, and HIV.
His lab studies two related viruses that can cause cancer in humans: Epstein-Barr, which also causes infectious mononucleosis and is implicated in some autoimmune diseases; and Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpes, which is associated with Kaposi’s sarcoma and lymphomas that occur in patients with AIDS.
Dr. Miller is the John F. Enders Professor of Pediatrics (infectious diseases) and professor of epidemiology (microbial diseases) and of molecular biophysics and biochemistry at Yale School of Medicine.
