Dr. Allison Bloom is a translational researcher at the Chiari and Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome Center at Mount Sinai South Nassau, where she integrates molecular science, clinical data, and multidisciplinary collaboration to advance understanding of heritable connective-tissue disorders and their neurosurgical applications. She is board-certified in Pediatrics and Obesity Medicine and holds a Master’s degree in Molecular Genetics and Cellular Biology.

Dr. Bloom’s work bridges basic science and clinical practice, emphasizing integrative, preventive, and whole-patient frameworks. Her research focuses on improving diagnostic precision, early detection, and individualized management of complex multisystem disorders. She investigates how connective-tissue pathology contributes to neurological and craniocervical manifestations, with the goal of refining patient-specific diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that improve outcomes.

She completed postgraduate training in reproductive health, child and adolescent psychiatry, developmental and autism medicine, and trauma-informed care, and has extensive experience in policy, program development, and administrative leadership. Before joining Mount Sinai, she served as Medical Director at Forestdale Agency in New York City, where she led preventive and psychiatric health initiatives recognized with the NYC Excellence in Care Award.

A dedicated educator and mentor, Dr. Bloom serves as Adjunct Faculty at NYU Langone and the NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she teaches and mentors students in preventive approaches, integrative care, and the management of complex patients.

For more than two decades, Dr. Bloom has held leadership roles in humanitarian and community health initiatives, traveling throughout the United States and internationally to provide medical care and training in underserved and resource-limited settings. Originally from New York City, she lives in New York with her husband, three children, and their pitbull-lab mix, Nikki, and remains deeply committed to advancing equitable, integrative, and compassionate models of care.

Research Interests

Dr. Bloom’s research lies at the intersection of pattern recognition, phenotyping, pathophysiology, and clinical intersectionality. Her work seeks to bridge molecular mechanisms with clinical application, improving early detection, diagnostic accuracy, and individualized treatment for patients with heritable connective-tissue and neurosurgical disorders. She focuses on uncovering biologic and biomechanical signatures that clarify disease mechanisms, refine patient stratification, and inform integrative management strategies—advancing a translational model of care that connects research insights directly to improved patient outcomes.
