Dr. Christopher Heaphy is a dedicated cancer biologist whose research combines tissue-based, cell-based, and molecular approaches to investigate the role of telomere alterations in human diseases, with a primary focus on cancer, including prostate cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, breast cancer, sarcomas, and gliomas. His lab conducts both basic and translational research aimed at understanding how these alterations contribute to the initiation and progression of cancer.
The overarching goal of Dr. Heaphy's research program is to leverage molecular insights from the tumor and its microenvironment to advance clinical applications. His work aims to develop strategies for accurately predicting cancer risk, prognosis, and the potential response to targeted therapies.
Dr. Heaphy earned his Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine and completed postdoctoral training at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Currently, he is an Associate Professor of Medicine affiliated with Boston Medical Center and a member of the Boston University-Boston Medical Center (BU-BMC) Cancer Center.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility
Coming from diverse Hispanic and Irish backgrounds, I am dedicated to advancing inclusion and equality for all. My passion lies in fostering diversity and inclusion within academia and medicine. For instance, I have actively supported gender equity in medicine through the Women in NETs (WIN) initiative of the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (NANETS), where I also chair the Scientific Review & Research Committee. Additionally, I have mentored undergraduate students in the Boston University STaRS program. This NIH-funded initiative aims to enhance access to graduate and medical education for historically underrepresented students in science and medicine.
My research at Boston Medical Center aligns with our mission of ‘exceptional care without exception’, particularly addressing racial disparities in cancer outcomes. For example, disparities in prostate cancer incidence and outcomes are well-documented. Factors such as screening, access to care, and treatment plans exhibit significant race-based inequities. Recent studies have shown that adjusting for social determinants of health—such as education, neighborhood, healthcare access, socioeconomic status, and medical literacy—can completely attenuate higher prostate cancer-specific mortality risks among Black men previously attributed to biological differences. Currently, our collaborative research integrates racial, molecular, metabolic, and geographic factors to redefine risk of progression. Our goal is to identify new clinical and social determinants of health data to develop a comprehensive risk signature. This signature will guide personalized care pathways, integrating clinical treatment with patient navigation to improve coordination and outcomes.
