Amanda Brown, PhD, FANA
The Johns Hopkins University
Dr. Amanda Brown completed a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry at the University of California Riverside and obtained a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where she identified novel mechanisms of protein secretion. She transitioned to the field of HIV pathogenesis through a postdoctoral fellowship at the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in NYC. She developed innovative tools to investigate HIV-human macrophage biology and viral persistence at the single-cell level. Today, her lab uses the latest innovations in humanized mice, cellular reprogramming, and single-cell technologies to uncover the cellular and molecular basis of pathologic neuroinflammation.
