Brown博士研究侧重于调查废水处理中的微生物生态和功能基因组学。研究领域是培养微生物学和分子微生物学技术，包括关键细菌种的针对性隔离、全基因组排序和16S基因繁殖库与荧光原位杂交，以确定和监测细菌群落。开始博士研究之前，Brown女士专注于分子技术的研究，调查多元化环境中的微生物群落，包括南极土壤、冰下沉积物和哺乳动物胃肠道。Brown女士现为奥克兰大学的一名生物学助教，撰写过多篇研究论文。于2011年加盟理文编辑，担任编辑。

Ms Brown’s PhD research focused on investigating the microbial ecology and functional genomics of wastewater treatment. This research involved both culture-based and molecular microbiology techniques including targeted isolation of key bacterial species, whole-genome sequencing and both 16S gene clone libraries and fluorescence in situ hybridization for identification and monitoring of bacterial communities. Prior to her PhD Ms Brown specialized in the use of molecular techniques for investigating microbial communities in diverse environments, including Antarctic soils, subglacial sediments and the mammalian gut. Ms Brown is currently employed by the University of Auckland as a biology tutor and writer of research papers. She joined the Edanz Group as an editor in 2011.
