Nitin Ohri

Nitin Ohri, MD, MS, is Professor, Radiation Oncology at Montefiore Einstein. He is a radiation oncologist with a clinical focus on treating lung and gastrointestinal cancers.

Después de completar su Licenciatura en Ciencias en Ingeniería Biomédica en la Universidad de Columbia en 2003, el Dr. Ohri obtuvo su Doctorado en Medicina en la Universidad de Washington en 2007. Luego completó una pasantía en medicina interna en el Hospital Barnes-Jewish en 2008 y luego participó en una residencia en oncología radioterápica en la Universidad Thomas Jefferson, completándola en 2012. El Dr. Ohri obtuvo su maestría en el Programa de Capacitación en Investigación Clínica en Montefiore Einstein en 2015.

Building on his clinical focus, Dr. Ohri’s research focuses on incorporating novel imaging metrics in the implementation of radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, understanding how physical activity data can be leveraged to enhance the value of cancer care, and exploring novel combinations of immunotherapy and radiotherapy. Dr. Ohri has designed numerous ongoing and completed investigator-initiated trials that test novel functional imaging-based radiotherapy delivery strategies and new combinations of immunotherapy and radiotherapy. He is also leading a series of trials incorporating continuous activity monitoring with wearable devices into the care of cancer patients. The unifying theme of his work is leveraging novel forms of multidimensional data to improve cancer care, and his work has been presented in many peer-reviewed publications and abstracts. Dr. Ohri is a reviewer for multiple journals, such as the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics, the American Journal of Clinical Oncology and Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Dr. Ohri is board certified in Radiation Oncology by the American Board of Radiology and is a member of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, the American Society for Clinical Oncology and the American Association for Cancer Research. He has won multiple awards, including numerous “Outstanding Reviewer” Awards from the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics, the Cancer Care Delivery Research Pilot Project Award from NRG Oncology and the Fellowship Award from the Empire Clinical Research Investigator Program.
