Kari Brown, Research Assistant IV
Kari received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Thomas More University in 1999. She joined the Brugmann lab as a Research Assistant IV in 2019. Prior to joining the lab, she worked in Internal Medicine/Pulmonary at the University of Cincinnati for 15 years studying the molecular pharmacology of polymorphic adrenergic receptors in cardiovascular disease. In 2014, she joined the Neonatology and Pulmonary Biology division at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital studying lung development and disease. She is interested in the role of primary cilia in craniofacial development and disease. Currently, she is using murine and hIPSC models to study the molecular mechanisms and genetic causes of craniofacial disorders. When she’s not in the lab, Kari enjoys living the country life with her family, dogs, and watching her girls play sports.
