David W. Galbraith, Ph.D.

I have 45 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 200 scholarly articles and have made 550 invited presentations at scientific meetings and in academic and industrial settings. I provide my 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 develop methods of 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 and the environment. I have devised novel devices to inexpensively monitor infectious diseases, examples including Ebola and COVID-19.  My publications are at the cutting edge of scientific research, currently addressing the interface between experimental biology, quantitative science, and next-generation approaches to data collection and analysis incorporating Artificial Intelligence.
