Senior Scientist, Computational Biology And Spatial Transcriptomics
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrendan Miller is a computational biologist with 11 years of experience who translates complex spatial transcriptomics and cancer epigenetics datasets into robust, reproducible analysis pipelines. Currently a Senior Scientist at Merck after postdoctoral work at Johns Hopkins, he bridges wet-lab molecular expertise and advanced computational methods to accelerate biomarker discovery and spatially resolved biology. His PhD and NIH training focused on DNA methylation in cell-free DNA and CIMP tumor epigenetics, giving him deep experience with both experimental design and in silico integrative analyses. Brendan is notable for moving seamlessly between hands-on lab techniques (ddPCR, bisulfite sequencing) and scalable bioinformatics, enabling insights that span molecules to tissues. Based in Baltimore, he brings a pragmatic combination of academic rigor and industry-focused delivery to translational genomics projects.
