Dr. Steven A. Brown

Universität Zürich, Institut für Pharmakologie und Toxikologie

Steven B. Brown studied biochemistry at Harvard College, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. In 1997 he received his doctorate in the Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. From 1998 – 2005 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Molecular Biology at the University of Geneva in the laboratory of Prof. Ueli Schibler, and began his active work on circadian rhythms (Research Project: The identification of proteins and signalling mechanisms involved in the regulation of mammalian circadian rhythms). In 2006, as a Humboldt Fellow at the Charité in Berlin (Prof. Achim Kramer), he researched the topic “Molecular mechanisms regulating chronotype”. Since September 2006 he is Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the Medical Faculty of the University of Zurich.

From the reveller to the lark

Because of their genes, some people come into the world either as a lark (early riser) or a night-owl (late sleeper). In addition, however, even in normal people, such ”chronotype“ (…)

    Mechanism for DNA Invasion of Adenoviral Covid-19 Vaccines Discovered

    Adenoviruses have a linchpin protein that stabilizes their DNA until it reaches the infected cell’s nucleus. The protein then detaches from the viral genome, and the virus uncoats. Only then are the genes released into the nucleus, which is necessary for the production of new viruses. This ... more

    Microscopy Deep Learning Predicts Viral Infections

    When viruses infect cells, changes in the cell nucleus occur, and these can be observed through fluorescence microscopy. Using fluoresence images from live cells, researchers at the University of Zurich have trained an artificial neural network to reliably recognize cells that are infected ... more

    Lipid Metabolism Controls Brain Development

    A lipid metabolism enzyme controls brain stem cell activity and lifelong brain development. If the enzyme does not work correctly, it causes learning and memory deficits in humans and mice, as researchers at the University of Zurich have discovered. Regulating stem cell activity via lipid m ... more

q&more – the networking platform for quality excellence in lab and process

The q&more concept is to increase the visibility of recent research and innovative solutions, and support the exchange of knowledge. In the broad spectrum of subjects covered, the focus is on achieving maximum quality in highly innovative sectors. As a modern knowledge platform, q&more offers market participants one-of-a-kind networking opportunities. Cutting-edge research is presented by authors of international repute. Attractively presented in a high-quality context, and published in German and English, the original articles introduce new concepts and highlight unconventional solution strategies.
