Senior Lecturer, Department of Biochemistry

Dr Brown's group focuses on regulatory elements in mRNAs that control gene expression. In particular, the group use both bioinformatics and cell biology approaches to discover new regulatory mechanisms in the human genome and the genomes of viral pathogens. This has enabled the establishment of leading databases of this gene regulatory information at Otago.
