Chris Brown is a Senior Research Fellow at the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre, University of Sydney's Faculty of Medicine and Health. He holds a Master of Biostatistics and has expertise in trial design, statistical computing, and oncology research. Previously, he worked at SPSS and the National Cancer Registry in Ireland. His research focuses on randomization methods, phase-II trial designs, time-to-event analysis, and genome-wide association studies.

His work spans clinical trials in lung cancer, immunotherapy, and precision medicine. Notable projects include the ILLUMINATE trial evaluating combination therapies for EGFR-positive NSCLC and the OSCILLATE trial exploring osimertinib/gefitinib alternation for advanced lung cancer. He also contributed to the ASPiRATION cohort study on genomic profiling in metastatic lung cancer.

Recent publications emphasize real-world applications of radiation therapy (e.g., SFRT-1000 trial), PSMA PET imaging in prostate cancer staging, and symptom monitoring in hemodialysis patients. He advises one current PhD student, Emma, on sleep disorder management in breast cancer survivors.
