Dominique Bailey, MD, MSEd

Dominique Bailey, MD, MSEd is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and an attending pediatric gastroenterologist at the NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital. She received her undergraduate degree from Duke University and her master’s degree in urban education from the University of Pennsylvania. She attended Georgetown University School of Medicine and completed her pediatric residency and pediatric gastroenterology fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital— Columbia University Irving Medical Center. There, she pursued postdoctoral research, initially funded by a NIDDK T32 training grant, in the lab of Dr. Jianwen Que. As a recipient of the Consortium of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease Researchers (CEGIR) Training Award, she obtained advanced training in eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases and rare disease research. She joined the faculty of the Columbia University Irving Medical Center at the New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in 2018. Dr. Bailey focuses on basic science/translational research in esophageal development and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Her current research utilizes 3D human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived esophageal organoid culture and murine models to study esophageal development and epithelial stem cell biology. She employs innovative murine models of pediatric EoE and human and murine organoid culture systems to investigate the molecular mechanisms of reactive epithelial changes to elucidate novel treatment targets and biomarkers specific to pediatric EoE. In addition, she established a pediatric EoE biorepository at Columbia University Irving Medical Center for translational research studies. During the past seven years, she has been awarded several prestigious grants including the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition (NASPGHAN) Foundation/ George Ferry Young Investigator Development Award, an NIH-K08 Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award, Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Award, and most recently the Louis V. Gerstner Jr. Scholars Award. Her research has led to several national and international oral presentations, a first-authored manuscript in Development, a second-authored invited review in Development, and co-

and senior-authored manuscripts in several high-impact journals such as Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology, Gastroenterology, and Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Additionally, she has been invited to serve as a content expert on several consensus guidelines, including the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) consensus statements on the endoscopic management of eosinophilic esophagitis as well as the international consensus guidelines for eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease. Dr. Bailey serves as the inaugural director of the multidisciplinary clinical program in EoE and Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders in conjunction with the Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Rheumatology at Columbia University. In addition to clinical care and research, she enjoys spending time with her family, enjoying the arts and culinary scene in NYC, traveling, and mentoring future physicians and junior scientists on their journey towards academic success. Dr. Bailey is a member of NASPGHAN and the AGA and has served on the NASPGHAN Professional Education Committee and NASPGHAN Strategic Planning Committee.
