Bio

Dr. Miles has been a member of the Division of Pediatric Neurology for over 5 years. He is an experienced clinician and researcher, who has studied the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs in pediatric populations for much of his career. He has dedicated his clinical and research efforts to improving the efficacy and safety of drug therapy for infants and children. His research is currently focused on the development of new biomarkers and therapeutic agents for patients with mitochondrial diseases.
