In conversation with Freda Miller

Nature Neuroscience volume 26, pages 1653–1656 (2023)Cite this article

As Nature Neuroscience celebrates its 25th anniversary, we are having conversations with both established leaders in the field and those earlier in their careers to discuss how the field has evolved and where it is heading. This month we are talking to Freda Miller, Deputy Director and Professor of Developmental Neurobiology at University of British Columbia. She is known for her work on neuronal and mesenchymal stem and precursor cells and how they can promote tissue repair and regeneration. Here we talk about science and how to make your mark.

Thank you for taking the time to talk to us. Would you like to share with us something about yourself, how you got into neuroscience, and how you started your independent research? How do you choose your research questions?
