Steven P. Miller MDCM, MAS, FRCPC

Dr. Miller is a Professor of Paediatrics (status only) at the University of Toronto, and an Adjunct Scientist in the Neuroscience & Mental Health Program at the Research Institute of SickKids.

As a physician-scientist, the focus of his research program is improving the clinical care of newborns at high risk of brain injury including newborns born with congenital heart disease or born preterm. The use of advanced brain imaging offers tremendous potential to understand the mechanisms and timing of brain injury in high-risk newborns and fetuses. Findings from his research program inform new strategies to promote optimal brain development and neurodevelopmental outcome. Most recently, he co-directs Child-Bright, an innovative pan-Canadian network that aims to improve outcomes for children with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families through Canada's Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR). 

Dr. Miller served as President of the Society for Pediatric Research (2013-14) and is passionate about supporting child health researchers early in their career trajectories.
