My research interests are focused on reproductive physiology 鈥� in particular, the regulation of sperm function. In collaboration with Professor Chris Barratt at the University of Dundee and NHS Tayside, I鈥檓 investigating ion channel (dys)function in human sperm. From a research perspective, I鈥檓 also interested in pedagogic research in online teaching.
I completed my PhD in Neuroscience at University College London.聽 Before joining 麻豆原创 as a lecturer, I held postdoctoral research positions at University College London and the University of Dundee. My research experience includes investigating the electrophysiological and molecular analysis of GIRK channels, and the intracellular signalling pathways controlling ENaC expression.
I have previously acted as an external examiner for the Biotechnology degree at the Modern Science and Arts University in Cairo, Egypt.
Undergraduate module leader responsibilities;
Dr. Brown has a pedagogic research interest in the area of online teaching/learning and assessment.
Dr. Brown聽is聽currently聽working in collaboration with Professor Chris Barratt at the University of Dundee and NHS Tayside working on the pathophysiology of human sperm. 聽His background is as an electrophysiologist (patch clamp) and has an interest in the molecular control of ion channel function and is currently involved in a studying examining ion channel (dys)function in human sperm.
Dr. Brown has been the recipient of Tenovus Scotland, Carnegie Scotland, Medical Research Council and Chief Scientist office grants.
External examiner for Biotechnology degree at聽 Modern Science and Arts University, Cairo, Egypt (2012-14).
