The Researcher – dr. Gyula Kulcsár, biochemist

Dr. Gyula Kulcsár was born in Nagykanizsa , Hungary in 1951. He graduated from the József Attila University of Szeged, Faculty of Science in 1979 as a chemist. Initially, he worked for the Chemical Institute of the Central Laboratory for Theoretical Research at the Medical University of Pécs , then in 1981 he joined the Biochemistry Institute , where he worked as a senior lecturer for decades. He taught and conducted research there. He got his PhD in 1998. His colleagues and students consider him an extremely thorough, meticulous person who is very knowledgeable in his special field, a modest scientist who is always receptive to novel things. Medical students elected him “the Best University Lecturer” on several occasions.

In his research work he first turned to the biochemistry of cancer cells in 1987. Following a thorough reading of the medical literature he worked out a new, genuine theory on the anti-tumor defense mechanism of the living body, he then managed to prove the existence of the Passive Anti-tumor Defense System , and he was able to identify the components and describe the defense system's mechanism of action. He used cell and animal experiments to demonstrate that his hypothesis had been correct. He has continually published the results in international journals and presented them at scientific conferences.

In 1998 he was awarded the “Genius Prize” at the 1 st Inventors' Olympic Games and his patent was selected among the key patents granted by the National Patent Office, and it now ranks with the patents of renowned inventors and researchers such as Tivadar Puskás, Albert Einstein, Leó Szilárd and Albert Szent-Györgyi.

He is a member of the Hungarian Society of Biochemistry, the New York Academy of Sciences, the International Society for Preventive Oncology and the European Life Scientist Organization. He felt deeply honored when he learnt that he had been elected a Fellow of the Russian Academy of Medical Technology in 2004.
