Dr. Timothy Miller’s research focuses on bringing novel therapeutic strategies to neurodegenerative diseases. As we work toward the goal of bringing these new therapies to human clinical trial, our exciting research often attracts national and international attention.
Prospective natural history study of_C9orf72ALS_clinical characteristics and biomarkers
Prospective natural history study of_C9orf72ALS_clinical characteristics and biomarkers Our team’s hard work has been published in Neurology. This paper profiles the clinical features, such as age at disease onset, survival duration, and measures of disease progression, of ALS patients with mutations in the C9orf72 gene. By defining the natural history of this patient population, this […]

New Diagnostic Test for Neurofilament
Biomarkers are measures reflective of biological processes that occur in the body. In the setting of disease, biomarkers may be used for diagnostic, prognostic or treatment monitoring purposes.
Challenge Me to Find the Path to a Faster Diagnosis of ALS
With funds raised through the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, The ALS Association has been able to invest significantly in the identification of biological indicators (or biomarkers) for ALS.
Antisense Drugs for Huntington’s, ALS and Prion Diseases Could Meet the Dire Need for Brain Treatments
A genetic therapy that increases or lowers levels of a protein raises hopes for a treatment for neurological disorders.
Experimental Drug Shows Promise for Genetic Form of ALS
An early stage trial of an investigational therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) suggests that people could tolerate the experimental drug and, in exploratory results, the experimental drug was linked to possible slower progression in people with a genetic form of the disease caused by mutations in a gene called superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1).
Experimental treatment could be ‘game-changing’ for genetic ALS, experts say
(CNN) An experimental treatment for the rapidly progressive disease ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, has been called potentially "game-changing."
Video: C9 ID: Accelerating a therapy for ALS patients with C9 mutations
In this video Dr. Timothy Miller provides an excellent explanation of how ALS works in the body and what researchers are doing to bring a therapy to ALS patients, especially those with mutation in the C9ORF72 gene.
Video: Advances in ALS Treatment
Washington University neurologist Timothy Miller, MD, discusses advances in ALS treatment.
Dr. Timothy Miller Wins Sheila Essey Award for ALS Research
The ALS Association, in partnership with the AAN and the American Brain Foundation, are awarding research funding to Timothy M. Miller, M.D., Ph.D., the David Clayson Professor of Neurology from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The award recognizes significant research contributions in the search for the causes, prevention, and cure for […]
Ste. Genevieve Riverdogs Baseball Team Supports ALS Research
Prior to the final game of the season, the Ste. Genevieve Riverdogs baseball team surprised Coach Jeremy Hoog with a touching tribute as well as a donation to Dr. Timothy Miller’s ALS Research Lab in honor of Coach Hoog’s mother – and the Riverdogs’ biggest fan – Cheryl.
Medical Research Roundup: Dr. Tim Miller Awarded Research Grant from NIH
The Miller Lab has found differences between healthy people and people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in biomolecules known as microRNAs. This project seeks to understand the microRNA differences and the effect of adjusting them to try to develop new diagnostic tests or treatments for ALS.
