He also serves as Director of the National Parkinson Foundation Center of Excellence and Director of the Huntington Disease Society of America Center of Excellence at the University of Rochester. He is fellowship trained in movement disorders and provides comprehensive services to individuals with Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, tremor, dystonia and other movement disorders. He also provides botulinum toxin injections for the treatment of dystonia and related conditions. Dr. Biglan has been actively involved in the development of telemedicine for the provision of care in patients with Parkinson disease and for identifying disease modifying therapy in Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. He has been at the forefront of establishing the feasibility of telemedicine in Parkinson disease and Huntington disease, the expansion of its use for clinical care, and the validation of clinical trial outcomes assessed via telemedicine. He conducts weekly movement disorders clinics via telemedicine at various spoke sites throughout New York.

Dr. Biglan is actively involved in clinical trials aimed at identifying therapies that slow progression of Parkinson disease and Huntington disease and in designing trials and identifying therapies aimed at delaying onset of disease in Huntington disease. He has served as the PI/co-PI, Steering Committee member or Medical Monitor on over 13 clinical trials. He was the co-PI on the design and successful conduct of the NINDS funded Phase 2 study of Coenzyme Q10 in premanifest Huntington's disease (PREQUEL) and the Phase 2 study of isradipine in early Parkinson disease (STEADY-PD) and is currently the PI of an NINDS sponsored Phase 3 clinical trial of isradipine in Parkinson's disease (STEADY-PDIII). Dr. Biglan's current research interests focus on identifying clinical phenotypes in pre-manifest Huntington's disease, identifying disease modifying therapies in Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease and enhancing the delivery of care to patients with chronic neurodegenerative disorders.
