Temple's Michael Brown among top African-American scientists in region
Michael Brown, a researcher and professor at Temple's College of Health Professions and Social Work, is named one of the top African-American scientists in the Philadelphia region. Brown is studying how exercise can help fight hypertension particularly in African Americans. In 2007, he published a study that found exercise was less effective in reducing hypertension in blacks than in whites. He is now looking at why blood vessels in African Americans constrict more than in other groups. The constriction helps cause blood pressure to increase.
