His work bridges clinical psychology, public health, and gender studies, often employing mixed-methods approaches to understand complex interactions between identity, discrimination, and mental health outcomes.

Dr. Breslow currently leads an active NIMH-funded research project examining mental health service disparities among transgender and nonbinary adults. His collaborative work extends across multiple institutions, with a focus on community-engaged research that directly addresses the needs of marginalized populations.
