Eve Lowenstein

Dr. Eve Lowenstein serves as Associate Clinical Professor and Director of Medical Dermatology at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and Kings County Hospital, with clinical practice at South Nassau Dermatology PC in Oceanside and Long Beach, NY. Her expertise spans complex medical dermatology, biologics, hidradenitis, autoimmune diseases, and skin cancer treatment.

Educational background:

• Bachelor of Arts, Magna Cum Laude (Chemistry), Queens College, CUNY
• Medical Scientist Training Program: MS (1992), PhD (Cellular/Molecular Biology, 1994), MD (1995), NYU School of Medicine
• Internal Medicine Internship: Long Island Jewish Hospital
• Dermatology Residency & Chief Resident: Mount Sinai Hospital

Her research program uniquely bridges clinical dermatology with historical and anthropological perspectives. Primary interests include acne pathogenesis, paleodermatology (studying ancient skin diseases in archaeological remains), forensic dermatology applications, and Turner Syndrome dermatologic manifestations. She pioneered work connecting historical medical texts with modern diagnoses, notably identifying genetic disorders in Egyptian mummies.

Analysis of her 40+ publications (2006-2014) reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) Endocrine-dermatologic interfaces (PCOS, hyperandrogenism), (2) Historical/forensic dermatology (ancient disease identification, legal applications), and (3) Therapeutic innovations (retinoids, nutrition-acne relationships). Her paleodermatology work demonstrates exceptional interdisciplinary synthesis across medicine, archaeology, and history.

Key recognitions include:

• Nomination for National Leadership Award by Congressman Thomas Delay (2001)
• Outstanding Physician Award, Kings County Hospital (2002)

Dr. Lowenstein actively mentors through editorial board roles (multiple dermatology journals) and has delivered hundreds of lectures globally. Her research program is sustained by competitive grants supporting clinical investigations in medical dermatology. As Director of Medical Dermatology, she leads multidisciplinary teams managing complex cases while advancing translational research in endocrine-dermatologic disorders.
