Biography

Jeffrey Bailey, M.D., Ph.D., is the Mencoff Family Associate Professor of Translational Research in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Brown University. He is also a practicing physician specializing in Transfusion Medicine and Coagulation at Miriam and Rhode Island Hospitals. With a focus on infectious disease genetics and genomics, Professor Bailey aims to understand host-pathogen interactions in the context of human disease. His research primarily addresses parasitic infections, particularly malaria, examining its consequences, the genome structure of the parasite, tracking drug resistance, and studying related diseases like Burkitt lymphoma. He has made significant contributions to methods for analyzing whole genome sequencing. Professor Bailey received his B.A. in Biology from St. Olaf College, his M.D. and Ph.D. from Case Western University, and completed his residency in Clinical Pathology and a fellowship in Transfusion Medicine. His research involves highly collaborative and integrative approaches that draw upon genetics, genomics, immunology, epidemiology, bioinformatics, and computational biology.
