Jennifer Brown is a postdoctoral scientist conducting clinical, epidemiological, and implementation research aimed at informing HIV management in Southern and East Africa. Key interests include paediatric HIV, viral drug resistance, implementation of genotypic resistance testing, treatment outcome monitoring strategies, decentralisation of service delivery, and the programmatic rollout of new antiretrovirals (notably dolutegravir).
