Galo is a cell biologist. He earned a Ph.D from UC Berkeley in Molecular and Cell Biology. His favorite emerging research organisms are protists, because they harbor biological innovations that enable life in unexpected locations.
Cells can be highly motile, moving in and out of a microscope’s field of view. Understanding complex life cycles is difficult without continuous observation. To overcome this challenge, we’ve developed a 3D-printed microchamber device to confine cells for long-term visualization.
