The Bailey Lab studies the role of genetic variation in immunity and disease from the perspective of both the host and pathogen
Based at Brown University, we work within large collaborative frameworks developing experimental and computational tools and leveraging high-throughput genomics and genetics, working with investigators across the world.
Jeff Bailey MD PhD
Jeff Bailey, M.D. Ph.D. is the Mencoff Family Associate Professor of Translational Research in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. He is a computatinal biologist and practicing physician in Transfusion Medicine and Coagulation at Miriam and Rhode Island Hospitals.
He has made major contributions to methods for analyzing whole genome sequencing in particular to study segmental duplication and copy number variation as well as more recent methods for high-throughput pathogen targeted sequencing to track pathogens across space and time.

Our Collaborators
The Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Ecology Lab (IDEEL) was officially formed in 2015 by international group of principal investigators who shared a vision for working closely together to improve the health of the world’s poorest populations by improving our understanding of the infectious diseases that impact them most. Our lab closely collaborates within this framework providing expertise in seqeuncing, genomics, bioinformatics and computional biology. Other PIs provide world-class expertise in epidemiology, geography, modeling, biostastics and parasitology. Key collaborators in IDEEL are Jon Juliano, MIchale Emch, Ann Moormann, Jessica Lin, Bob Verity, and Jonathan Parr
KEMRI has 15 research centers with state-of-the-art research facilities and laboratories spread throughout Kenya. We work with multiple researchers at KEMRI - Kisian and KEMRI - Kilifi. We are pursing Burkitt Lymphoma and EBV with John Michale On’echa, and malaria work with Isbaella Oyier and Hoseah Akela
The Department of Parasitology of the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) conducts research into parasitic diseases of public health importance and is a centre of excellence for teaching and research. OUr long-term collaborators at Noguchi are Anita Ghansah and Bright Adu. Our main focus is examing malaria drug resistance as well as vaccine immunity.
The National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) is medical research arm of the Ministry of Health. We are collaborating Deus Ishengoma on his grant though the Gates foundation performing country-wide molecular surveillance of Malaria in Tanzania (MSMT) and building a genome center which is supported by the Bill-Melinda Gates Foundation.
Kinshasa School of Public Health we work collaboratively with UNC Chapel Hill and IDEEL researchers to support large-scale surviellence and longitudinal infectious disease studies. . Our long term collaborators at the school are Antoinette Tshefu and Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa
Ethiopian Public Health Institute is autonomous public health authority providing referral laboratory services and research related to cause and spread of diseases. We collaborate with the malaria group investigating diagnostic and artemisinin drug resistance.
