BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Galko obtained his Ph.D. with Dr. Marc Tessier-Lavigne at the University of California San Francisco and performed his postdoctoral studies with Dr. Mark Krasnow, at the Stanford University School of Medicine. As a postdoctoral scholar he developed a novel genetically tractable system to study epidermal wound healing using fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) larvae. In 2005 he started his own laboratory at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he is now a full professor. His laboratory uses the fruit fly to dissect how organisms respond to tissue damage. About half of the lab studies epithelial wound healing and half studies tissue damage-induced nociceptive sensitization. His lab has made numerous original contributions to both fields.
