Craig T. Miller

Craig T. Miller is a Professor of Genetics at the University of California, Berkeley, affiliated with the Department of BIO. His research focuses on understanding how pattern forms during development and changes during evolution, particularly in the vertebrate head skeleton. Using a genetic approach in the threespine stickleback fish, Miller investigates the genetic basis of craniofacial and dental pattern, as well as how alterations to these genes result in evolved differences in morphology. His work explores the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive evolution in natural populations and their implications for human skeletal disorders.

Craig T. Miller is a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on Genetics, Developmental Biology, Evolution, Regeneration, and Tooth Development. His work explores the genomic and molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive evolution, particularly in threespine sticklebacks, and the genetic regulation of craniofacial and pharyngeal structures. He investigates how cis-regulatory changes and gene interactions drive phenotypic diversity and developmental patterning in vertebrates. His research also examines the role of signaling pathways, such as Endothelin1, in pharyngeal arch development and tooth evolution. By integrating genetic, developmental, and evolutionary approaches, Miller contributes to understanding the molecular basis of morphological adaptation and regeneration.
