Alistair Brown

Dr. Alistair Brown is a researcher at Newcastle University, focusing on the biochemical and structural aspects of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, particularly targeting drug-resistant strains. His work spans antimicrobial agent development, enzyme characterization, and structural biology.

His research includes studies on:

• Structure-based drug design for tuberculosis
• Enzymatic mechanisms in mycolic acid biosynthesis
• Characterization of toxin-antitoxin systems
• Development of novel hydrazide and pyrrole-based therapeutics
• Investigation of phage interactions with bacterial metabolism

His publications (2002–2025) emphasize antitubercular agents, structural biology, and biochemical pathways. Collaborations include teams from Newcastle University, University of Copenhagen, and others. No scientific awards or students are explicitly mentioned in the provided data.
