Dr. Christopher Heaphy is a cancer biologist. Using a combination of tissue-based, cell-based, and molecular approaches, his lab conducts basic and translational research studies focused on elucidating the role of telomere alterations in the initiation and progression of human diseases, particularly cancer (e.g. prostate cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, breast cancer, sarcomas, gliomas). The long-term goal of his lab is focused on how detection of molecular alterations in the tumor or tumor microenvironment may be readily translated into the clinic to accurately predict cancer risk, prognosis, and potential response to targeted therapies.
Dr. Heaphy received his Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine and did his postdoctoral training at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is currently affiliated with Boston Medical Center and is a member of the Boston University-Boston Medical Center (BU-BMC) Cancer Center.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility
Coming from both Hispanic and Irish backgrounds, and now the husband of a Vietnamese immigrant, I continually strive to promote inclusion and equality for all. In particular, I am deeply committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in academia and medicine. For example, in 2021, I served as an ally to help advocate for gender equity in medicine via the Women in NETs (WIN) initiative through the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (NANETS), a society in which a serve as the Chair of the Scientific Review & Research Committee. In addition, in the summers of 2020 and 2022, I served as a faculty mentor to multiple undergraduate students in the Boston University STaRS program, which is an NIH-funded program to promote more equitable access to graduate and medical education for students historically underrepresented in science and medicine.
My research to address racial disparities in cancer outcomes is well represented in the overall mission of Boston Medical Center - “Exceptional care without exception”. For example, racial disparities in prostate cancer incidence and outcomes are well documented. Prostate cancer screening, access to care, and treatment plans are each associated with significant race-based inequities. Although biological differences have been posited to account for higher incidence rates and worse prostate cancer outcomes for Black men, recent studies have shown that, when models are adjusted for social determinants of health (e.g. education, neighborhood, healthcare access, socioeconomic status, and medical literacy), the higher prostate cancer-specific mortality risk is completely attenuated. Thus, in a collaborative research project, we are currently integrating a range of factors (racial, molecular, metabolic, and geographic) to reconsider risk of progression. We plan to determine what new clinical and social determinants of health data are needed to develop and refine a comprehensive “risk signature” that will more accurately inform the best pathway to care for an individual patient. We envision this pathway will include both clinical care and patient navigation and establish better coordination between these two activities.
