Biography
Nitin Ohri, MD, MS, is Associate Professor, Radiation Oncology at Montefiore Einstein. He is a radiation oncologist with a clinical focus on treating lung and gastrointestinal cancers.After completing his Bachelor of Science in biomedical engineering at Columbia University in 2003, Dr. Ohri earned his Doctor of Medicine from Washington University in 2007. He then completed an internship in internal medicine at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in 2008 and then participated in a radiation oncology residency at Thomas Jefferson University, completing it in 2012. Dr. Ohri earned his Master's degree from the Clinical Research Training Program at Montefiore Einstein in 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.
