Bruce Miller, MD

Bruce is Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at UCSF where he holds the A.W. & Mary Margaret Clausen Distinguished Professorship in Neurology. He founded the UCSF Memory and Aging Center and leads an NIH-funded program project grant on frontotemporal dementia, the UCSF Alzheimer's disease Research Center, and two consortia focused on developing treatments for the tau and progranulin subtypes of frontotemporal dementia and another consortium for Parkinson’s spectrum disorders. He has directed new approaches to patient care linked to intensive caregiver support and, in a separate effort, developed better diagnostic support tools for primary practice physicians in collaboration with Quest Diagnostics. His multidisciplinary approach builds collaborations around iPS cells, genomics, and neuroimaging enabling research findings related to the differential diagnosis of dementia, dementia risk factors, and new therapeutic approaches.
