His most notable research relates to the metal binding of the protein central to these diseases, the prion protein, and its possible cellular role as an antioxidant. Brown served as a member of (SEAC ), the British government advisory board on BSE and related diseases.〔see http://www.seac.gov.uk/papers/papers.htm where he is listed as being in attendance between the 81st meeting (http://www.seac.gov.uk/minutes/final81.pdf) and then thanked for completing two terms in the 100th meeting (http://www.seac.gov.uk/minutes/final100.pdf)〕 Since then he has pursued research related to other neurodegnerative diseases. .〔(Research Profile ), University of Bath〕 ==Career== Brown completed his studies at the University of Sydney at the age of 25 and gained the degrees B.Sc.
