For more than 40 years, Dr. Stephen M. Levin has dedicated his career to treating patients who have contracted diseases, such as mesothelioma, from their work environment. He has also campaigned for the protection of workers who deal with asbestos, lead, and other toxic materials.

Dr. Levin earned his medical degree from New York University School of Medicine in 1967. He then completed residencies in community medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, psychiatry at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, and surgery at Bellevue Hospital Center. His fellowship was completed at the New York Hospital Cornell Medical and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. In 1979, he was selected by Dr. Irving Selikoff to fill the last slot on the occupational medicine program Dr. Selikoff was establishing at Mount Sinai. In 1987, he became the Medical Director of the Irving J. Selikoff Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is also an Associate Professor of Preventive Medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma have comprised much of Dr. Levin's research as well as his practice. Other lung diseases and those caused by heavy metals are also part of his studies on occupational diseases. He has conducted studies on construction workers in the New York City area concerning occupational diseases. Dr. Levin has campaigned tirelessly to help protect workers from the dangers that may be inherent in their occupations.

Dr. Levin has been a consultant to the New Jersey, New York City, and New York State Departments of Health regarding environmental pollutants and related health hazards. He has worked extensively with rescue workers and others who have been afflicted with respiratory illnesses due to the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center terrorist attacks. He has even testified before Congress on this topic, and directs the Data and Coordination Center for the World Trade Center Medical Monitoring Program, for which he is also the program's principal investigator. He has repeatedly expressed concerns that the asbestos dust from the collapsing towers may eventually lead to malignant mesothelioma among the volunteers and rescue workers, as well as those who lived or worked in the area during the cleanup process. He supports high resolution computed tomography for those involved with the World Trade Center rescue and cleanup operations who display symptoms of mesothelioma.
