Jennifer A. Frontera is an Assistant Professor in the departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology at Mount Sinai Medical Center. She is a board certified in neurology, vascular neurology and neurointensive care. She is the first of two neurointensivists in the Neuroscience ICU and has been a faculty member at Mount Sinai since 2006. Dr. Frontera received her Bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College, her medical degree from Johns Hopkins University and completed her internship, residency (neurology) and fellowship in Stroke and Neurocritical Care at Columbia University.

Dr. Frontera has published several articles related to autoregulation, subarachnoid hemorrhage and vasospasm. She is the author of Neurocritical Care:  A Pocket Guide (published by Thieme) and is co-director of the Mount Sinai organ donor council.  She is the principal investigator for the Intracranial Hemorrhage Outcomes Project (IHOP), which follows subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage and subdural hemorrhage patients. Dr. Frontera is site PI for the NIH funded ARUBA trial of unruptured intracranial aneurysms and the CSL Behring study of prothrombin complex concentrates after hemorrhage. She has lectured as several national and international conferences including the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, the New York Symposium on Neurological Emergencies and Neurocritical Care and the Greater  New York Hospital Association.  She has received a patient/family appreciation award every year since she arrived at Mount Sinai.
