Analytical Toxicology

Distinguished Professor of Pathology and Pharmacy, Emeritus
Deputy Dean, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Vice Chair for Education and Academic Affairs (Pathology)
Dr. Bailey's past 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. Dr. Bailey no longer has a research laboratory.
