Jessica Robinson-Papp, MD, MS
- ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR | Neurology
Specialties:
Neurology, Electrodiagnostic MedicineDr. Robinson-Papp’s clinical and research interests include neuropathy, and the neurologic complications of HIV/AIDS including chronic pain. She is the recipient of grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study HIV-associated neuropathy, and from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to study methods of improving opioid prescribing safety, and is the medical director of the Manhattan HIV Brain Bank. In addition to her research, Dr. Robinson-Papp performs electromyography (EMG), autonomic testing, and intraoperative neurologic monitoring, to aid in the diagnosis of neurologic disorders. She is the senior attending neurologist for the Institute for Advanced Medicine, where she provides neurologic care to people living with HIV/AIDS.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
