معرفی
Peter Geck, M.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Education at Tufts University School of Medicine. He holds a Doctor of Medicine from Semmelweis Medical University (1975) and completed postdoctoral research at the University of Massachusetts. Dr. Geck's research integrates molecular biology, oncology, and anatomy, with a focus on viral/hormonal cancers, metastasis detection, and stem cell differentiation. He has developed patented technologies including novel restrictases and a blood test for cancer metastasis.
His research interests include:
- Molecular mechanisms of cancer metastasis and microchimerism
- Stem cell differentiation in cancer progression
- Development of diagnostic tools for early cancer detection
- Molecular anatomy of human development
Dr. Geck's recent publications (2011-2023) demonstrate a consistent focus on cancer biology, neuropeptide research, and diagnostic innovation. His work frequently explores tumor spheroids, metastasis biomarkers, and neuroprotective mechanisms, utilizing methods ranging from flow cytometry to in vivo modeling.
Professional activities include memberships in the American Society of Clinical Oncology (since 2008) and the American Association for Cancer Research (since 1994). He has received research funding from the U.S. Department of Defense for projects on fetal/maternal stem cells in breast cancer (2008-2010).
At Tufts, Dr. Geck teaches Clinical Anatomy to medical, dental, and physician assistant students and has held research faculty positions since 1995. He maintains laboratories focused on molecular oncology and anatomical sciences.
