He later did a post-doctoral fellowship in molecular/cellular biology at National Jewish Center (Denver, CO). His research interests now focus on examining diseases of the critically ill using metabolomics. When he finished training in 1996, Brent was recruited to the University of Calgary in Critical Care Medicine and is now a Professor of Medicine. In Calgary, he helped to establish the graduate program in Critical Care Medicine and is involved in training clinicians, scientists and clinician-scientists.
