Leah Brown, MD

Leah Brown, MD, graduated from the University of Georgia with a major in Microbiology and a minor in Spanish. During her time there, Leah worked in an industrial microbiology research lab and served on several mission trips to Central America, through which she learned that her two passions—science and service-- could be well served in the field of medicine. She attended medical school at the Medical College of Georgia, where she cemented her love for academic infectious diseases. Since then, her fellowship training at Vanderbilt University Medical Center has broadened her interests to sepsis, critical care, and the microbiome. She is currently a clinical fellow and has a research interest in COPD, sepsis and the pulmonary microbiome.
