The Miller lab uses the model organism C. elegans to investigate neural development and function. Research topics include mechanisms of synaptic specificity, neuronal remodeling and dendrite morphogenesis. The goal of this work is to identify molecular pathways that control these events and to establish the cell biological mechanism of each process.
