Nicholas Mai

Nicholas Mai serves as an Assistant Attending (equivalent to Assistant Professor) in the Department of Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, specializing in Hematology-Oncology with particular focus on breast cancer research. His clinical and research activities are centered within the Graduate Medical Education framework of the institution.

Dr. Mai's research program focuses on translational oncology, particularly investigating molecular mechanisms in advanced breast cancer. His work bridges basic science discoveries with clinical applications, examining therapeutic targets like eIF4A in estrogen receptor signaling and optimizing treatment regimens for triple-negative breast cancer. He has made significant contributions to understanding HER2-targeted therapies and antibody-drug conjugates in metastatic settings.

His publication record shows strong activity in high-impact venues including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Journal of Clinical Oncology, with 12 total publications across six different oncology journals. The research demonstrates a clear trajectory toward developing more effective, personalized treatment strategies for challenging breast cancer subtypes.

Dr. Mai maintains active collaborations across Memorial Sloan Kettering, with frequent co-authorship patterns showing strong partnerships with researchers including Chen (7 collaborations), Razavi (6 collaborations), and Modi (4 collaborations). His work appears to be supported by institutional research funding though specific grants aren't detailed in the available information.

Within the clinical environment, he participates in the Hematology-Oncology fellowship training program, contributing to the education of future oncology specialists while advancing therapeutic approaches for difficult-to-treat breast cancer cases.
