Dr. Brandon A. Miller is Associate Professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Medical University of South Carolina and is certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery and American Board of Pediatric Neurosurgery. He was inducted into the American Society of Pediatric Neurosurgery in 2023. He is part of the pediatric neurosurgery team at MUSC that cares for patients at Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital and the outpatient clinic in Sumney Medical Pavillion in North Charleston.

Dr. Miller received his undergraduate degree in Biology at Washington University in St. Louis and then completed the combined MD/PhD training program at The Ohio State University. His PhD work took place in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Beattie and Dr. Jacqueline Bresnahan, two of the world’s leading researchers on spinal cord injury. His dissertation work focused on the interaction between immune cells and progenitor cells after central nervous system injury. During his MD/PhD training, he was awarded an NIH fellowship to support his graduate and medical work.

Dr. Miller completed his residency training in neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine, followed by a fellowship in pediatric neurosurgery at Washington University in St. Louis and St. Louis Children's Hospital. During his residency training, Dr. Miller travelled to Kijabe, Kenya to volunteer in a pediatric neurosurgery program for children with hydrocephalus and spina bifida. Dr. Miller’s research in residency focused on brain injury and inflammation after subarachnoid hemorrhage, and he was awarded grants from the American Academy of Neurological Surgeons, Brain Aneurysm Foundation, and National Institutes of Health during that time.

Dr. Miller has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, regularly serves on research review panels, and has mentored numerous medical students who have pursued careers in neurosurgery. He regularly sits on grant review panels for nonprofit and governmental agencies. In 2025, he was appointed a standing member of the NIH Developmental Brian Disorders study section.
