Corey McMillan is an Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) and Co-Director of the Penn Frontotemporal Degeneration Center. His research program focuses on age-associated neurodegenerative conditions including frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that share neuropathological and genetic features but present with a range of clinical syndromes. By testing biologically-grounded hypotheses with novel analytic and multimodal approaches, his lab integrates neuroimaging modalities (e.g., MRI, DTI) with genomics (e.g., SNP genotypes, RNA-seq, DNA methylation) to address the biological basis of heterogeneity within the FTD and ALS spectrum.
