Dr Geetpriya Kaur

Dr.Geetpriya Kaur is an MDS Oral Pathologist, running a dental diagnostic center for the past 9 years. She taught Oral Pathology courses as a Professor at the Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology at the Institute of Dental Studies and Technologies (IDST), India. She has also worked as an assistant editor with the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research and has many national and international publications to her credit. Additionally, she has peer–reviewed articles in national and international journals.

Her master's thesis looked into "Detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma metastasis with cathepsin D: An immunohistochemical study" and concluded that patients with lymph node metastasis had higher Cathepsin D(CD) expression and that increasing tumor size seemed to correlate with higher CD expression. Thus, based on the active potential of CD in regulating the prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the design and synthesis of specific CD inhibitors can have significant research and therapeutic consequences.
