Dr. Marcel Brown is a clinician–scientist whose research portfolio integrates orthopaedic surgery, regenerative medicine, translational molecular science, and cardiovascular physiology, with a strong emphasis on clinically impactful, mechanism-driven investigation. His scholarly output comprises 7 peer-reviewed documents, which have collectively received 145 citations, reflecting an h-index of 3, indicative of consistent citation impact across his publications. His research experience spans advanced orthopaedic outcomes research, musculoskeletal infection prevention, stem cell and acellular biologic therapies for osteoarthritis and post-traumatic osteoarthritis, and translational studies evaluating tissue regeneration, inflammation, and functional recovery using in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo models. Complementing this work, he has contributed substantially to cardiovascular and exercise physiology research, including investigations into exercise-induced cardiac remodeling, pulmonary vascular disease, metabolic and hormonal responses to physical stress, and molecular mechanisms underlying maladaptive vascular fibrosis. His interdisciplinary collaborations have resulted in publications across high-impact journals in orthopaedics, translational medicine, cardiovascular science, and cell biology, including original research articles, systematic analyses, and clinically relevant case reports. Collectively, his research demonstrates a sustained commitment to bridging basic science with clinical application, advancing evidence-based surgical practice, regenerative strategies, and cardiometabolic health through rigorously designed translational and outcomes-focused studies.
