Garrett Wallace Brown

I am an academic respiratory consultant with a subspecialty interest in lung infection. I lead a team at University College London investigating the pathogenesis and mechanisms of immunity for pneumonia with projects on Streptococcus pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii.

In addition, I conduct translational research into patients with bronchiectasis, pneumonia, and COVID. My clinical practice includes caring for patients with a range of clinical respiratory infection problems, including bronchiectasis, aspergillosis, and pneumonia in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. I am co-head of the UCL Respiratory department, leading a group of ten investigators with research groups investigating a range of lung conditions.

Since 2018, I have been a member of the UK Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, contributing to national decisions on vaccine policy for multiple pathogens, including COVID, S. pneumoniae, influenza, and RSV.
