Profile

Dr. Bloomer joined the faculty of The University of Memphis as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health and Sport Sciences in 2004, having held prior positions at Duke University Medical Center and Wake Forest University. He holds the rank of Professor and serves as the Dean of the College of Health Sciences & R. Brad Martin Student Wellness Center. He also serves as the Director of the Cardiorespiratory/ Metabolic Laboratory and the Center for Nutraceutical and Dietary Supplement Research.

He maintains an active research agenda, having received external funding as principal investigator for close to 70 research projects. As a result of his active research agenda, he has been lead or co-author on more than 200 peer-reviewed manuscripts and book chapters. In 2013 he co-authored the book, The Daniel Cure (Zondervan), which highlights his research with the dietary restriction model known as the Daniel Fast. He has specific expertise in the area of oxidative stress and antioxidant therapy, as well as in the use of dietary ingredients for purposes of improving cardio-metabolic health. He has served as a consultant to a variety of nutraceutical and dietary supplement companies and has been an invited guest on radio programs nationwide to discuss his research. He has written multiple health related articles for various on-line and print media targeted at non-scientific audiences. 

He has been the recipient of the Tennessee Higher Education Innovation and Leadership Fellowship, the College of Education Excellence in Research Award, and the Faudree (Provost) Professorship. Aside from research, he has excelled in the classroom and has been a past nominee for the Thomas W. Briggs Excellence in Teaching Award.

As an administrator, he has worked to grow student enrollment to an all-time high and to enhance research activity within the College. Most notably, laboratory facilities have been upgraded significantly and new investigators have been hired to help expand the research portfolio. Under his leadership, the College of Health Sciences thrives and has the mission of growing health-related research at the mechanistic and applied level, while training future leaders in the area of allied health sciences.
