Dr. Brown is a native of Louisville, KY and later graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Dayton with a degree in Biochemistry. Following completion of her medical degree at University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, she stayed in Cincinnati for a combined residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. Dr. Brown then completed her Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC before returning to Cincinnati once again to be the first Adult Congenital Heart Disease Fellow here. She has been on faculty at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center ever since and participates in a variety of clinical, educational, and research activities within the Heart Institute at Cincinnati Children's as well as at several neighboring hospitals.
Dr. Brown serves as an attending cardiologist for the Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD), Cardiovascular Genetics, and Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension teams. She is director of the Cardiovascular Genetics Clinic as well as the ACHD Fellowship Program. Additionally, she is director of ACHD for the Center for Maternal Cardiac Care (CMCC) at TriHealth. Dr. Brown's primary clinical interests include all forms of congenital heart disease, management of pregnancy in the setting of cardiovascular disease, pulmonary hypertension, and genetically-mediated aortic disease. Her research interests have thus far focused on obstacles to the care of ACHD patients and cardiovascular complications of Turner syndrome.

Thomas D. Ryan, MD, PhD, was born and raised in Wichita, KS and graduated magna cum laude from Wichita State University in 1996 with a BS in biological sciences.
In 1997 he began training in the MD/PhD program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and studied the molecular, cellular, and whole organ aspects of cardiac remodeling in a rat model of volume overload. His general pediatrics residency training took place at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center from 2006-2009, as did his pediatric cardiology fellowship training from 2009-2012 and advanced fellowship in Pediatric Heart Failure/Transplant from 2012-2013. His clinical and research interests focus on heart failure, cardiomyopathy, cardiac transplantation and mechanical circulatory support. He focuses on patients who have developed heart dysfunction as a result of cancer-related therapies.
He is on the Leadership Council of the Cardio-oncology Member Section of the American College of Cardiology and has authored peer-reviewed manuscripts, reviews and textbook chapters on pediatric cardio-oncology.

Surgical emphases include congenital heart surgery in neonates, infants, children, teenagers and adults. Heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support.
Developing reliable and reproducible evidence-based perioperative management strategies to improve survival and developmental outcomes; novel monitoring techniques such as continuous venous oximetry and near infrared spectroscopy.
Dr. Tweddell leads the Heart Institute's surgical team providing unparalleled surgical care and innovation for our patients and their families. Over the last 20 years, he built the pediatric cardiothoracic surgery program at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where he held the S. Bert Litwin Chair for Cardiothoracic Surgery position, served as medical director of pediatric cardiothoracic surgery at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and professor and chief for the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery. Dr. Tweddell has an extensive list of vital research contributions, having authored more than 125 peer reviewed articles, published numerous books, chapters, invited reviews and editorials, and serving on multiple editorial boards and national committees.
Dr. Tweddell is the elite surgeon of his generation and has earned a worldwide reputation for outstanding clinical results based on team contributions to his outcomes. He decreased mortality following the Norwood procedure through the use of venous saturation monitoring and afterload reduction. In addition, Dr. Tweddell reduced interstage mortality of a single ventricle patient through the development of a home monitoring program.
