Assistant Professor, University at Albany,
Ph.D., University at Buffalo, the State University of New York (2004)

Dr. Bloom is interested in the effects of environmental pollutants, such as persistent organohalogen compounds and heavy metals, on human endocrine function, fecundity and fertility. Oxidative stress and its effects on outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization and the role that environmental pollutants may play in these processes are also of interest. Furthermore, he conducts research on those methodologic aspects pertinent to the application of laboratory biomarker data for epidemiologic studies of human health endpoints
