Dennis Brown

Biography

I was born and raised here in Calgary, however my studies took me out east to Halifax, NS where I completed my BSc in Neuroscience at Dalhousie University. During my degree, I spent a year abroad at Maastricht University in the Netherlands where I was able to travel and take part in many adventures around Europe. From doing motor imagery research for my honours, I switched gears coming back to Calgary to focus more on neuroimmunology and MS. In my spare time, I love getting out biking on the paths of Calgary, snowboarding in the Rockies, spending time with my gecko, Sebastian, and trying to find more opportunities to travel and explore new places.
