Darryl Keith Miles MD

Dr. Darryl Miles’ academic aim is to investigate the pathophysiology and long-term neurodevelopmental outcome after acquired brain injury in children. During his fellowship and as a junior faculty member, he used a transgenic mouse model to investigate the endogenous capability of neural stem and progenitor cells to remodel the brain after injury. Research found that progenitor cells within the hippocampus, a central structure for learning and memory, could recover and replace damaged neurons after hypoxic-ischemic injury.
