Bruce Miller, MD, holds the A.W. and Mary Margaret Clausen Distinguished Professorship in Neurology at the University of California, San Francisco, where he directs the Memory and Aging Center, a National Institutes of Health-sponsored Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. As a behavioral neurologist whose work emphasizes brain-behavior relationships, he has reported on the emergence of artistic ability, personality, cognition, and emotion with the onset of neurodegenerative disease. Some of these findings have improved diagnostic accuracy, while others are leading to a deeper understanding of brain functional anatomy and disease risk. In 2015, partly in response to research findings showing that 30–40 percent of dementia cases could be eliminated with lifestyle changes, he co-founded the Global Brain Health Institute and the Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health program. Additionally, he helps lead the Tau Consortium, The Bluefield Project to Cure Frontotemporal Dementia, the Global Brain Health Institute, and the Parkinson’s Spectrum Disorders Center. He has been awarded the Potamkin Award from the American Academy of Neurology, the UCSF Lifetime Achievement in Mentoring, and the AAIC Lifetime Achievement Award from the Alzheimer’s Association. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine.
