Brian N. Bailey, MD, PhD

Brian Bailey was raised in Montana before relocating to Boulder at the age of fifteen. After graduating from Boulder High School, Brian attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he earned a BS in chemistry in 1997 and became a member of the academic honor society Phi Beta Kappa. Brian accepted a position in the highly competitive Medical Scholars Program at the University of Illinois. There he pursued his interests in medicine and biomedical research from 1997 to 2005, earning both an MD and a PhD in pathobiology.

In the laboratory, Brian focused his efforts on developing new drug candidates targeting infectious diseases that disparately impact poor and underserved populations. His work was instrumental in showing that a class of medications commonly used for osteoporosis might also be used against the protozoan parasites that cause some of the most devastating infectious diseases in the world—malaria, toxoplasmosis, leishmaniasis, and trypanosomiasis.

Brian went on to complete his Internal Medicine internship at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis (2005–2006) before pursuing a dermatology residency at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Bailey served as the school’s Chief Resident in Dermatology (2008–2009). He was board certified in Dermatology in 2009. He offers practical expertise in a wide range of medical and surgical dermatology techniques.

When not practicing medicine, Brian pursues his many outside interests in hiking, photography, Telemark skiing, snowshoeing, and sailing.

Dr. Bailey joined Boulder Dermatology in September 2009.
