#10 - Dr. Julian Bailes: Neurosurgery, Brain Injury, NFL Safety, and CTE Research

Dr. Julian Bailes is a leading figure in neurosurgery and brain injury research, recognized for his extensive work on the impact of brain injuries on cognitive function. With a career marked by significant contributions to understanding and treating brain injuries, Bailes has served as a consultant to the NFL Players’ Association since 1994, supporting research on head injuries among professional athletes. He is also the Medical Director of the Center for Study of Retired Athletes at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and has been involved with Pop Warner football, implementing safety measures to protect young athletes. His collaboration with Dr. Bennet Omalu led to the identification of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in football players, highlighting the long-term effects of repeated head impacts. Bailes’ commitment to improving player safety extends through his advisory roles and his push for policy changes in youth sports to minimize head impacts and concussions. His research and advocacy efforts aim to make contact sports safer for all participants, from professional athletes to children.
