Dr. Peck was a research assistant in the laboratory of Peter Burbelo, Ph.D. at the Department of Oncology at Georgetown University in Washington, DC from 1999 to 2000. From 1999 to 2003, he worked in the Deptartment of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Georgetown University, where he identified a novel RhoA-binding protein, rhophilin-2, and studied its effects on regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization.
While Dr. Peck was at the University of Washington, he participated in an independent study program, where he traveled to Kenya and Tanzania to research the culture of the Maasai people.
