Jordan Brown
CURRENT POSITION: Medical Writer, Meditech Media
I was born in Mobile, Alabama and received my Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at Auburn University. Following graduation, I spent two years in a post-baccalaureate program at the University of Alabama in Birmingham (UAB) studying epigenetic modifications involved in learning and memory. I started my graduate career at Vanderbilt University in the Fall of 2016 and am mentored by Dr. Danny Winder. My research project focuses on the role of DNA methylation on intrinsic neuronal excitability. Specifically, I am researching alterations in calcium gated potassium channels induced by changes in DNA methylation using epigenetic editing tools and electrophysiological recordings. When I am not in lab, I enjoy doing yoga, reading, cooking and exploring Nashville with my dog.
