Jared Bailey

Jared Bailey is a third-year PhD candidate in the Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health at Emory University. Jared’s academic journey began at Morehouse College, where he earned his undergraduate degree in biology, followed by a Master of Public Health from Morehouse School of Medicine. His education uniquely combines molecular biology, epidemiological methods & biostatistics, and toxicology (environmental health sciences). He has participated in collaborative projects and fellowships with esteemed institutions, including Cornell University, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Chapman University. These experiences have been pivotal in shaping his research focus on environmental exposures related to chronic diseases.

Currently, Jared's doctoral research focuses on the exposome, toxicology, and cancer epidemiology. As a former 2024 trainee with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, he leads research on exposomics that investigates the connections between chemical exposures from personal care products and cancer incidence in a large prospective cohort in the United States. He utilizes high-throughput technologies to analyze the biological signatures and molecular alterations associated with toxicant exposure.

As an emerging leader in the field of toxico-exposomics, Jared is devoted to merging computational omics with women’s health and consumer product safety research. His long-term objectives include:

1. Identifying biological changes and exposure signatures indicative of chemical-induced carcinogenicity in large cohorts.
2. Quantifying exposure-response relationships using predictive and physiologically relevant models to evaluate the safety of consumer product ingredients.

Jared’s training emphasizes a comprehensive understanding of biological pathways, biostatistical rigor, and population-based relevance, key pillars in advancing the field of exposomics and addressing health outcomes linked to environmental exposures.
