Participating Scientists

Jeremy Miller, Ph.D.
Senior Scientist, Allen Institute

Dr. Miller joined the Allen Institute in 2011 to help with computational data analysis of the Allen Human Brain Atlas project. He is first author on several major manuscripts describing the Allen Institute’s large-scale transcriptomic resources on the adult and developing human and non-human primate brain, including the Aging, Dementia, and Traumatic Brain Injury Study. Miller received his Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA, where he studied gene expression changes in the brain in Alzheimer’s disease and normal aging in the lab of Dr. Daniel Geschwind.

Kyle Travaglini, Ph.D. 
Scientist I, Allen Institute

Kyle Travaglini is a Scientist at the Allen Institute for Brain Science. As a member of the Human Cell Types program, Kyle is focused on characterizing the molecular and cellular changes that underpin Alzheimer’s disease. Previously, he completed a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Stanford University, where he constructed a single cell transcriptomic atlas of the human lung under the mentorship of Dr. Mark Krasnow. Prior to that, he conducted research with Dr. Steven Clark at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he received a B.S. in Biochemistry and identified a mechanism in yeast that helps ensure their proteins are built correctly.

Shubhabrata “Joey” Mukherjee, Ph.D., M.S.
Assistant Professor, UW Department of Medicine

Dr. Shubhabrata is trained in statistics, psychometrics, and genetics related to Alzheimer’s disease research. He is an active member of the AD Genetics Consortium (ADGC) and the International Genomics of Alzheimer’s project (IGAP).
