About Justin Bailey
Primary Academic Title
Professor of Medicine
Background
Dr. Bailey received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine through the Medical Scientist Training Program and completed medical residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital. He subsequently completed fellowship training in Infectious Diseases at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine before transitioning to a faculty position. His primary clinical interests are management and treatment of HIV and viral hepatitis, including hepatitis c virus. His research interests include the study of human B cells and neutralizing antibody responses against hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), SARS-CoV-2, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with the goal of developing improved vaccines against these viruses.

Lab Website
- We study human B cells and neutralizing antibody responses against hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), SARS-CoV-2, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Our overarching hypothesis is that understanding the B cell response in individuals who naturally control infections, and those who have been vaccinated, can help us to understand the basic biology behind successful immune responses, leading to design of more effective vaccines. A particular technical strength of our laboratory is high dimensional flow cytometric analysis of antigen-specific B cells, which allows us to phenotype these rare cells, and also to sequence B cell receptor (BCR) repertoires and isolate virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).
