Biography

Meagan Bailey, MD, is an assistant professor of the Department of Neurological Sciences within the movement disorders section. She completed her neurology residency at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center before coming to Rush University Medical Center to complete a fellowship in movement disorders neurology.

Her primary research interests are in impulse control disorders related to dopaminergic therapy that are used to treat Parkinson’s disease and other related movement disorders. She has been actively involved in translational research within the laboratory of Celeste Napier, PhD, working with parkinsonian rat models that display impulsivity when given dopamine agonist medications. Her goal is to elucidate the underlying neuropathological changes that occur when these medications are administered as well as to find a treatment for patients who suffer from impulse control disorders.
