Andrew H. Miller, M.D.
Andrew Hebb Miller MD (born April 18, 1955) is the William P. Timmie Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Vice Chair of Research of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University School of Medicine. He is also the director of the Emory Behavioral Immunology Program. Miller has been a pioneer in examining the impact of the immune system and inflammation on the brain and behavior as it relates to mood disorders and has contributed significantly to the development of immune-targeted therapy for psychiatric disease. Miller has done considerable research on the mechanisms by which inflammation affects the brain to change behavior, with many associated translational implications. His laboratory has demonstrated that both dopamine and glutamate play primary roles in inflammation-induced depressive symptoms especially motivational deficits and anhedonia. His group also conducted the first study using a cytokine antagonist to treat depression in otherwise medically healthy depressed patients.
