KEY EXPERIENCE
Professor Brown is a Fish Physiologist and Endocrinologist, with 30 years of experience of assessing the impacts of the environment on fish physiology. More recently she has also worked on mammal physiology, in particular non-invasive methods of assessing stress.
Key areas of experience are:
Salinity adaptations in migratory and non-migratory fish
Physiology of non-native fish, especially in relation to movement between water bodies
Endocrine control systems in fish
Kidney structure and function
Stress responses of fish to salinity, hypoxia, parasites and pollutants
Impacts of pollutants (eg acid waters, hydrocarbons, ammonium perchlorate) on larval and adult fish
Non-invasive methods of assessing stress in mammals (primates and Arabian Oryx), using corticosteroids in faeces.

RESEARCH
Professor Brown's research career has focussed on understanding the impact of the environment on physiological processes in animals. Research funded by BBSCR, NERC, EU and various industries has focused on the modulation and control of physiological function by hormonal and paracrine systems, activation of these systems, and their integration. These issues require molecular, cellular and physiological approaches brought to bear on both fundamental and applied questions. Investigations of the responses of animals to environmental pollutants have focused on physiological disturbances and resultant endocrine responses to stress. Insights into the impact of environmental pollutants have been gained including an appreciation of the plasticity of the stress responses; thyroid disruption is currently being explored. The impact of non-indigenous (alien) fish species and their ability to adapt to saline waters and thus use salt-bridges as routes for further invasion is under investigation. Further work is currently developing non-invasive strategies to investigate the welfare and stress status of primates.
