Dr John Brewin

I am a paediatric haematology consultant working at King's College Hospital London where we care for a large population of children with sickle cell disease. I have an strong interest in improving the negative impact of cerebrovascular disease in this children. I have previously completed a PhD investigating genetic risk factors for stroke in children with sickle cell disease, where I identified APOE haplotypes as an important risk factor. From this I have build a research interest in both the genetic and clinical aspects of cerebrovascular complications of SCD.
