Research information:
My lab is defining at the molecular level, the differences between normal and tumour tissues. Our plan is to develop novel cancer therapeutics that target tumour tissue but do not harm normal tissue. We are developing viruses that can infect and kill tumour cells but do not infect normal cells. These viruses are called Oncolytic Viruses

Research information:
Performed genetic studies of RNA viruses with a focus on evolution of virulence in influenza virus, reovirus replication and cancer treatment, and hepatitis C immune evasion. The work focused on understands viral replication so that virus infection can both be prevented and alternatively be applied as therapy to treat diseases. He is a founding member of the Canadian Oncolytic Virus Consortium that is developing viruses as novel tumor therapeutics. He is also the founding Executive Director of the University of Ottawa for Emerging Pathogens Research Centre (EPRC). Dr. Brown is an internationally recognized influenza researcher who sits on various committees and institutional groups (CIHR workshop on influenza research priorities 2005; CIHR Pandemic Preparedness Strategic Research Initiative Task group; Organizing and program committee Chair of the 2008 of Canadian Pandemic Preparedness Meeting ; Pandemic Vaccine Working Group of the Public Health Agency of Canada; ) dealing with influenza pandemic preparedness.Area(s) of expertise:

Research information:
My research group is interested in understanding the interplay established between bacteria and their host during infection.
We are currently focusing on the enteropathogen Shigella flexneri, which use a Type Three Secretion Apparatus (T3SA) to inject some of its proteins inside human intestinal cells. Our main interests are:
- T3SA functioning and regulation;
- bacterial strategies for hijacking the biological processes of the host;
- bacterial and host adaptation at play during infection. Our long-term objective is to identify novel therapeutic avenues to treat infectious diseases.
Keywords: gastrointestinal infections caused by bacteria of the Shigella genus and other Escherichia coli.

Research information:
My main field of research is targeting the salt-sensitive high blood pressure. This particular kind of high blood pressure has been connected with a genetic component that is inherited from parents to offspring and that is usually exacerbated by high salt-intake. As a Geneticist Candidate and a Pharmacist, I am investigating the genes that might be involved in transmitting that genetic form of high blood pressure.
