Dr. Brown received his PhD degree in 1964 from the University of
London, London, England. He went on to work as a Research Fellow with the
Cardiovascular Research Institute, University of California Medical Center in San
Francisco, California. Dr. Brown is now the Vice President for Research at The Rammelkamp
Center for Education and Research, MetroHealth Medical Center and Professor in the
Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland,
Ohio.
Dr. Brown is an internationally renowned authority on
ion channel regulation in health and disease. His laboratory is remarkable for its ability
to investigate problems in cardiovascular pharmacology from cell to bedside. Dr.
Brown’s laboratory was one of the first to demonstrate direct G-protein modulation of
ion channels, and suggest physiological significance for these rapid signaling pathways.
Recently, his lab has been active in efforts to identify non-cardiac drugs that can induce
life-threatening rhythm disturbances in human patients, and define the molecular bases of
the cardiotoxicities.
Dr. Brown will deliver two public lectures at the College of
Veterinary Medicine as part of the Clarenburg Lecture Series. The first entitled "Ion
Channels in Hereditary and Acquired Heart Disease" will be given on Thursday,
November 18th at 4PM and the second, entitled "Protein Modulators of
Voltage-Dependent K+ Channels" will be given on Friday, November 19th at 4PM. Both
lectures will be held at the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Practice Management
Center, 4th Floor, Trotter Hall.
