Lindsay Miller

Lindsay Miller is an Assistant Professor at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health & Human Longevity Science, University of California, San Diego. Her research bridges nephrology and cognitive health in aging populations.

Education and Training:

• BA in Biology from the University of Redlands (2012)
• MPH in Epidemiology from Oregon State University (2015)
• PhD in Epidemiology from Oregon State University (2019)
• Postdoctoral Fellowship in Nephrology-Hypertension at UCSD (2022)

Research Interests: Dr. Miller investigates the interplay between kidney dysfunction and cognitive decline, focusing on biomarkers like serum amyloid P-component and neurofilament light chain. Her work spans epidemiology, aging, and clinical trials, particularly in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and vascular contributions to neurodegeneration.

Article Trends: Her recent publications emphasize proteomics in CKD-cognition links, phosphate metabolism in hemodialysis, and biomarker associations with frailty and brain imaging. Key fields include nephrology, neurology, geriatrics, and metabolism.

Grants and Research: Dr. Miller leads two NIH-funded projects: (1) Leveraging Proteomics to Understand CKD and Cognitive Impairment (NIA K01AG078486, 2022-2027), and (2) Kidney Tubule Dysfunction and Cognitive Impairments in the Elderly (F32DK127590, 2020-2022).
