About Joshua Brown
Joshua Brown joined the Department of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy as an assistant professor in 2016. He has experience in clinical pharmacy, health economics and outcomes research, and pharmacoepidemiology across academic, pharmaceutical industry, and managed care. His current research program and collaborations focus on research methods for pharmacoepidemiologic and pharmacoeconomic generic and biosimilar evaluations, developing real-world evidence for drug-drug interactions, and conducting translational research in aging and aging-related diseases. His academic work has been funded by the NIH, FDA, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the PhRMA Foundation.
Joshua has published over 110 research articles and holds several editorial positions with high impact specialty journals in pharmacy and cardiovascular diseases and is actively involved in AMCP, ISPE, and ISPOR scientific societies. Dr. Brown was awarded as the AMCP Foundation’s “New Practitioner” for his early career contributions to managed care pharmacy. Dr. Brown is the faculty advisor of UF’s AMCP student chapter and has mentored over 20 graduate and pharmacy students in research.
