Andrew Katims, M.D., M.P.H., is a urologic oncologist who joined NYMC in 2024. He clinically treats all urologic malignancies and is an expert in bladder, prostate, kidney, and testis cancer. His research is focused on urothelial cancer and ranges from understanding the tumor microenvironment and therapeutically altering the immune system to develop novel treatments to developing clinical models that aim to improve quality of life outcomes for patients with bladder cancer.

His research efforts have led to multiple peer-reviewed publications and awards, including the ASCO Young Investigator Award to study a urine-based bio-marker in upper tract urothelial carcinoma and recognition from both the American Urological Association as an early career investigator and the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network as an up-and-coming bladder cancer researcher. Ultimately, Dr. Katims aims to improve diagnostic and therapeutic options for all patients, particularly those who are underserved with limited access to tertiary medical centers.
