Chad Heatwole, MD, MS-CI is a Professor of Neurology and the Director of the Center for Health and Technology at the University of Rochester Medical Center. He has an engineering degree from Virginia Tech, a medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia, a master's degree in clinical investigation, and he has completed a University of Rochester neurology residency, electrophysiology fellowship, and NIH-funded neuromuscular experimental therapeutics fellowship. He has had continuous grant funding over the last 17 years and has served as the Principal Investigator on dozens of research grants, including awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, New York State, and numerous research foundations. Dr. Heatwole's research has led to the development of an internationally recognized network dedicated to improving the quality-of-life of patients with neuromuscular diseases through patient-centered clinical research, therapeutic development, and the discovery of a novel therapeutic approach for patients with muscular dystrophy. His professional interests include providing optimal care to patients with neuromuscular disorders, conducting electrodiagnostic studies, training medical personnel, developing novel experimental therapeutics for neurological diseases though clinical trials, and developing and validating disease-specific, patient-relevant endpoint measures for use in clinical trials and patient monitoring.

Research

Dr. Heatwole’s research laboratory is internationally known for therapeutics research and the development, validation, and analysis of highly sensitive patient-relevant outcome measures for use in drug labeling trials. Dr. Heatwole has designed and implemented numerous investigator-initiated clinical studies and has developed more than 100 disease-specific instruments. These instruments are extensively used globally to measure therapeutic gain during clinical trials and have been used in academic initiated trials, pharmaceutic sponsored trials, government initiated trials, and as clinical markers of disease burden. Through his joint role as Director of the Center for Health and Technology and Director/Founder of the Outcomes Division at the Center for Health and Technology, Dr. Heatwole facilitates the study, development, evaluation, and approval of promising human therapeutics. Diseases that he is currently focusing on include:

Myotonic dystrophy type-1 (DM1)
Myotonic dystrophy type-2 (DM2)
Congenital myotonic dystrophy (CMD)
Juvenile myotonic dystrophy (JMD)
Charcot-Marie Tooth (CMT)
Inclusion body myositis (IBM)
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD)
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
Huntington’s disease (HD)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Friedreich’s ataxia (FA)
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM)
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Crohn’s disease (CD)
Lung cancer (LC)
Parkinson’s Disease (PD)
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)
Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD)
Dystonia (DYS)
Mitochondrial Disease (MD)
Cardiomyopathy (CM)
Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN)
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)
Spinal-bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA)

Dr. Heatwole is fully committed to the study and development of novel experimental therapeutics. He has planned, conducted, and analyzed numerous clinical studies including ones involving mexiletine, recombinant human insulin-like growth factor, antisense oligonucleotides, and novel endocrine based approaches.

Dr. Heatwole’s other research initiatives seek to better understand the baseline abnormalities associated with neuromuscular disease, understand the association between biomarkers and disease severity, and predict how muscular dystrophies progress over time. This work has led to the identification of defining laboratory characteristics in muscular dystrophies, data on the disease progression in FSHD and myotonic dystrophy, outcome measure development, biomarker discovery, evidence-based guidelines, and a novel differentiating clinical sign for myotonic dystrophy type-1 and type-2.
