Biography

After completing his postdoctoral training, Dr. Brown joined the faculty at the Baylor College of Medicine as a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Ophthalmology. He received his faculty appointment at the Weill Medical College in 2006.

Description of Research

Dr. Brown’s research centers on clinical investigations to evaluate treatments for diabetic retinopathy, neovascular age-related macular degeneration, central retinal vein occlusion, and retinal detachment. Dr. Brown was a key investigator on the Anti-VEGF Antibody for the Treatment of Predominantly Classic Choroidal Neovascularization in Age-related Macular Degeneration (ANCHOR) Study and the Minimally classic/occult trial of the anti-VEGF antibody ranibizumab in the treatment of neovascular AMD (MARINA) Study which both demonstrated a statistically significant benefit of Lucentis (ranibizumab) over Visudyne (verteporfin photodynamic therapy [PDT]) in predominantly classic choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Dr. Brown is also a member of the Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network.
