Dr Dan Brown joins the Imperial College Junior Research Fellows 2015 cohort

Dr Brown has been awarded a three-year Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) under the sponsorship of Professor Sivaramesh Wigneshweraraj.

The Fellowship was awarded for Dan's study entitled ‘Activation of the bacterial stress response by the major alternative transcription machinery and its role in bacterial pathogenesis'. 

The College’s JRF Scheme aims to give outstanding early-career researchers to establish and develop their own research path, and to help them make the difficult leap from postdoctoral researcher to lecturer. Dan joins the 7^th cohort of Junior Research Fellows at the College, appointed in 2015.  He is the third person in the CMBI, alongside Dr Teresa Thurston (2014) and Dr Sophie Helaine (2012), to have been awarded a JRF.
