Biography

Dr. Nita Maihle is an experienced cancer biologist who has devoted her career to developing a better understanding of what causes cancer, and to applying this information to improved methods for the early detection, prevention, and treatment of cancer. Over the past three decades, Dr. Maihle and her colleagues have discovered that the signals that cause cancer cells to grow are different from the signals that cause normal cells to grow. These “short circuits” in cancer cells can be targeted to specifically stop cancer cells from growing. New drugs targeting these cancer cell short circuits, drugs such as Herceptin and Gleevec, are some of the most cutting-edge, effective, and specific agents used in the treatment of cancer patients today. Studies in Dr. Maihle’s laboratory are focused on the discovery of disruptive innovations in the rapidly emerging field of precision medicine: innovations that will allow the more efficient coupling of these new, biologically-targeted therapeutics to the right cancer patients, through the development and application of biochemical and molecular diagnostics.

These short circuits in cancer cells result in a molecular signature that is unique to the cancer cell. Dr. Maihle’s laboratory has developed exquisitely sensitive biochemical assays that may one day be useful in detecting cancer cells anywhere in the body using a simple blood test to detect a tumor long before it is clinically detectable. Such early detection would allow even currently available treatments to be more effective— alleviating much human suffering. Dr. Maihle is strongly committed to the clinical translation of these basic research discoveries.

In addition, Dr. Maihle has served as a mentor and role model for many successful students, residents, fellows, and visiting professors, and has been particularly active as an advocate for women and other underrepresented individuals in the biomedical sciences. She serves in a leadership capacity for numerous interdisciplinary cancer research organizations throughout the country, and also for several national research funding organizations.
