Single-cell Genomes: Lenses into the Pathogenesis of Neurodegeneration

Michael B. Miller, M.D., Ph.D.

Physician-Scientist and Assistant Professor of Pathology

Harvard Medical School

Brigham and Women’s Hospital


Michael Miller, M.D., Ph.D. is a physician-scientist and Assistant Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He earned his MD and PhD from the Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine and completed anatomic pathology residency and neuropathology fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and postdoctoral fellowship in neuroscience and genomics at Boston Children’s Hospital. In 2022, he joined Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School as Assistant Professor and started his independent research laboratory. Dr. Miller’s research examines the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases at the single-cell level, with a major focus on the mechanisms and effects of somatic mutation in human neurons. His laboratory studies how the processes of somatic mutation interface with aging and disease in the brain, and how somatic mutation accumulation provides clues about disease pathogenesis. He has been awarded the Doris Duke Foundation Clinical Scientist Development Award and NIH K08 Mentored Clinical Scientist Career Development Award, and his research is also supported by the BrightFocus Foundation. Dr. Miller is an attending physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital on the autopsy neuropathology and molecular neuropathology services, and he is the co-founder of the Brigham and Women’s Neurodegenerative Disease Case Conference Series.
