Nima Almassi

Nima Almassi is a Research Fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), affiliated with the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Previously serving as a Graduate Staff member and Fellow, their work focuses on urological malignancies, particularly upper tract urothelial carcinoma and sarcomatoid differentiation. They collaborate extensively with the Genitourinary Oncology Service and Solid Tumor Oncology Division.

Research interests emphasize molecular heterogeneity, immune infiltration dynamics, and clinical outcomes in urothelial cancers. Their studies span perioperative management trends, surgical outcomes analysis, and translational models like patient-derived xenografts to investigate genetic diversity in tumors.

Recent publications (2020–2025) highlight advancements in understanding tumor biology, surgical protocols, and prognostic factors. Almassi’s collaborative network includes prominent oncologists and pathologists at MSKCC, reflecting their role in multidisciplinary cancer research.
