Wendy C. Brown, M.P.H., Ph.D.
Professor of Immunology
Veterinary Microbiology and Pathology
School for Global Animal Health
College of Veterinary Medicine
Wendy C. Brown is a professor in the Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Pathology in the College of Veterinary Medicine. She is recognized nationally and internationally for her research on T lymphocyte responses to tick-borne pathogens of cattle and for the use of T lymphocytes to identify promising vaccine antigens. T lymphocytes give animals and humans immunological memory, enabling them to thwart infectious agents that they have previously encountered. They are critically important in neutralizing pathogens, killing microbes, and for directly killing pathogen-infected cells. Dr. Brown received the Distinguished International Veterinary Immunologist Award in 2004 from the International Union of Immunological Societies. Granted every three years, the award recognizes the best veterinary immunologist in the world during that period.
