Peter Stock

Peter Stock, MD, PhD, is a Professor of Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine, specializing in abdominal transplantation. As co-director of UCSF's Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplantation Program, his clinical practice focuses on kidney, liver, and pancreas transplants. His research examines transplant rejection mechanisms, chimerism therapies, and HIV-related transplantation outcomes.

Education:

• Post-Doc Fellowship in Medicine, UCSF (1991)
• Residency in Surgery, UCSF
• MD, University of Illinois School of Medicine (1982)

Research Focus: Dr. Stock leads NIH-funded investigations into transplantation immunology, particularly in HIV-positive recipients. His work spans viral transmission risks, immunosuppression protocols, and innovative islet cell transplantation techniques. Recent studies explore genomic predictors of rejection and ethical frameworks for organ allocation during health crises.

Publication Trends: His recent articles demonstrate strong focus on HIV transplantation safety (notably HOPE Act implementation), precision medicine approaches to rejection monitoring, and ethical challenges in global organ allocation. Over 60% of his 2020-2025 publications address viral co-infections in transplant recipients.

Awards & Recognition:

• James IVth Fellowship (2000)
• Sandoz Fellowship in Transplantation (1991)
• Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society (1981)
• David Gaviser Award for Surgical Research (1989)
• Multiple teaching awards for surgical education

Grants & Leadership: Principal Investigator on 7 active NIH grants including T32AI125222 (transplant surgeon training) and U01AI118594 (CCR5 blockade in HIV+ transplants). Contributes to international transplant ethics committees and co-authored WHO-aligned allocation guidelines for crisis settings.

Clinical Programs: Leads multidisciplinary teams in UCSF's HIV Transplantation Program and Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplantation Program, integrating clinical care with translational research in immunomodulation.
