Dr. Steven Miller is Head and Professor of the UBC Department of Pediatrics and Chief of Pediatric Medicine at BC Children’s Hospital. He and his team’s brain-imaging studies of critically-ill newborns identified the power of early-life intensive care unit experience to shape the trajectory of brain development through childhood. His findings led a paradigm shift from brain injury as a fixedevent to a focus on “everyday” interventions that are modifiable to promote brain maturation. He is passionate about supporting the career development of early-career child health researchers and served as President of the Society for Pediatric Research. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
