Christopher A. Brown

Dr. Christopher Brown is a Cognitive Neurologist at the Penn Memory Center at the University of Pennsylvania. His research leverages multimodal biomarkers — including tau PET, MRI, cognitive, and plasma biomarkers — to characterize heterogeneity in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. He developed Tau-MaX, a global measure of tau burden, which he has used along with plasma biomarkers to investigate tau-clinical mismatch as a method for identifying individuals with co-pathology. In addition to his work with the Penn ADRC and CLARiTI cohorts, he co-leads the Penn Alzheimer’s Therapeutic Monitoring (ATM) study, developing personalized tools for tracking treatment response.
