About Lauren Brown:
Lauren Brown is originally from Indianapolis, Indiana who attended Indiana University on a full-ride scholarship where she graduated with a double major in biology and neuroscience. She went on to receive two masters degrees before being accepted into medical school. As a current medical student, 12 days away from finishing her 3rd year, she has a goal of helping others in the exact same way that she was saved, by putting shunts in babies’ brains. She's recently enjoyed coloring in her “me time” while also singing and dancing. After being born with Hydrocephalus, she needed a shunt to allow CSF to travel from the brain. With her first brain surgery at just 3 weeks old she was also diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis as a teenager and ended up having a colectomy done.
