Mark Miller is a Professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine with dual appointments in the Department of Behavioral Medicine & Psychiatry and the Department of Neuroscience. He also holds the Dana Farnsworth Chair of Education in Psychiatry at the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute. His clinical practice focuses on behavioral medicine, psychiatry, and neurocognitive disorders.
Dr. Miller's educational background includes:
- BS from University of Pittsburgh (1977)
- MD from University of Pittsburgh (1981)
- Psychiatric Residency at Thomas Jefferson University (1985)
- Internship at Mercy Hospital (1983)
Dr. Miller's research primarily focuses on Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment, with particular emphasis on brain metabolism, amyloid biomarkers, and cognitive assessment techniques. His work examines the relationship between structural brain changes, metabolic activity, and cognitive function in neurodegenerative conditions. He has made significant contributions to understanding how anti-amyloid therapies affect brain metabolism and cognitive outcomes. His research bridges clinical psychiatry with advanced neuroscience to develop better diagnostic and treatment approaches for neurocognitive disorders.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on using advanced neuroimaging techniques like FDG PET to monitor treatment response in Alzheimer's disease. His research shows particular interest in how brain metabolism changes with anti-amyloid therapy and how these changes correlate with cognitive function. His work has implications for developing more sensitive biomarkers to track treatment efficacy in early-stage Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. Miller actively collaborates with multidisciplinary teams at the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, working closely with neurologists, neuroscientists, and imaging specialists to advance understanding and treatment of neurocognitive disorders. His clinical work focuses on behavioral medicine, psychiatry, and specialized care for patients with dementia and related conditions.
