In 2006, Dr. Miller was recognized for his teaching and mentoring by Yale School of Medicine during the annual Commencement. Dr. Miller accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award and shared his research career, while focusing on the students at Yale and trainees in the labs, "because of the students at Yale, we're able to make discoveries and progress. Please engage with the students and get them to think about how to solve problems."
