Biography
The Galagan lab is an interdisciplinary lab with expertise in genomics and next-generation sequencing, molecular biology and microbiology, computational biology, and various engineering disciplines. The lab performs research and develops biomedical applications at the interface of engineering, computer science, molecular biology and microbiology. Dr. Galagan pioneered the concept of screening bacteria for molecular sensing proteins and developing these proteins into electronic sensors. He leads an interdisciplinary collaboration among colleagues at Boston University to develop and commercialize a range of applications based on these novel biosensors.
