Todd T. Brown, MD, PhD

Todd T. Brown, MD, PhD is a clinical investigator who focuses on body composition, metabolic, and skeletal abnormalities observed in people with HIV, particularly as related to aging. Through translational investigation, epidemiologic studies, and clinical trials, he has been interested in understanding the pathogenesis of glucose disorders, fat changes, hormonal dysregulation, and osteoporosis in people with HIV,  the consequences of these conditions (eg cardiovascular disease, frailty), and their optimal evaluation and management.

• The Todd Brown Lab focuses on metabolic, endocrine and skeletal abnormalities in HIV-infected patients, particularly as these factors relate to aging. Our studies take an epidemiologic approach to understanding the occurrence and prevalence of insulin resistance, diabetes, and anthropometric changes in HIV patients and their relationship to antiretroviral treatment.
