About the speaker
Dr André Brown
André Brown is Reader in Behavioural Phenomics in the Institute of Clinical Sciences at Imperial College London and Programme Leader at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS). Trained originally in physics, he applies imaging, machine learning and automated behavioural profiling - especially using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans - to model rare genetic diseases, discover neuroactive microbes and drugs, and map genotype to behaviour. His interdisciplinary lab spans physics, biology and engineering, and is pioneering scalable tools to capture subtle behavioural phenotypes in whole-animal systems.
