Dr. Brown holds a Ph.D. in Genetics, Genomics, and Development from Cornell University. He also holds a B.S. in Biology Education from Pensacola Christian College and an M.S. in Biology from the University of West Florida. His academic record is outstanding, with a 4.0 GPA in his doctoral studies.

During his graduate studies, he researched mouse developmental genetics and used fruit flies as a model system for studying a protease involved in the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease in humans. After his doctoral studies, he also went on to complete his post-doctoral studies at Washington University School of Medicine where he investigated mechanisms of neural regeneration in the spinal cord of zebrafish, with potential application for healing nerve damage in mammals. In addition to his research experience, Dr. Brown has significant teaching experience at the secondary and post-secondary levels, including undergraduate General Biology and Genetics labs.
