David W. Galbraith, Ph.D.

I have 40 years of research and teaching experience in biotechnology, biological instrumentation, and the analysis of living organisms at the level of single cells.  I am internationally recognized as a pioneer in flow cytometry and cell sorting. I have published over 180 scholarly articles and have made 550 invited presentations, at scientific meetings and in academic and industrial settings. I can provide expert opinions and advice spanning the physics and engineering of optical devices, to the biology of living organisms within the animal, plant, and microbial kingdoms. I work in the genetic engineering of target organisms to understand and ameliorate disease states, improve diagnoses and treatments, increase agricultural yields of major crops, and monitor threats to biodiversity. I have devised devices to inexpensively monitor infectious diseases, including Ebola, and now I am working on COVID-19 detection and therapies.
