Tiffany Miles, Ph.D.

Dr. Miles is an Instructor in the Section of Developmental Nutrition in the UAMS Department of Pediatrics and a faculty member of the Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center. She received a BS in Biological Sciences, with a concentration in Secondary Education, from Louisiana State University, and a PhD in Interdisciplinary Biological Sciences at UAMS. During her post-doctoral training in the Department of Neurobiology and Developmental Sciences at UAMS, Dr. Miles was a fellow in the UAMS Translational Research Institute's Health Sciences Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program and the Community-Based Participatory Research Scholars Program.

As a neuroendocrinologist, Dr. Miles' primary interest is in metabolic programming, focusing on pituitary and hypothalamic development. The research goal is to elucidate the mechanisms by which parental nutrition influences offspring neuroendocrine development and propensity for obesity in pre-clinical models. She utilizes cell biology approaches in addition to rodent metabolic phenotyping and proteogenomic analyses. Dr. Miles' research program aims to evolve into a translational initiative, bridging basic science discoveries and community impact. Dr. Miles welcomes collaborative opportunities to investigate the influence of early-life factors, such as lifestyle and environmental influences, on metabolic programming.
