Dr. David N. Bailey: Analytical Toxicology; Drug Binding; Drug Metabolism

Research Summary: Analytical Toxicology, Drug Binding, and Drug Metabolism

Dr. Bailey's research has focused on development of analytical methodology for measuring drugs and drug metabolites; on the binding of drugs to human tissues; and on the percutaneous absorption of drugs with particular emphasis on psychotropic drugs and drugs of abuse.
