Dr Robin Brown

University Position

Clinical Lecturer

Dr Robin Brown is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students.

Interests

I am a Stroke Association Clinical Lecturer and a Specialist Registrar in Neurology, Stroke and Internal Medicine. My research investigates the role of altered blood-brain barrier permeability and inflammation both systemically and in the brain itself to understand the pathophysiology involved in cerebral small vessel disease, a common cause of both stroke and vascular dementia.
