Catherine G. Galbraith, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering in the School of Medicine at Oregon Health and Science University. She also serves as Discovery Engine Investigator at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, member of the Neuroscience Graduate Program, and affiliate of the OHSU Center for Spatial Systems Biomedicine. Her work focuses on the interface of biology and physics, investigating fundamental mechanisms of cell motility, connectivity, cell fate specification, cancer cell metastasis, and synaptogenesis through integrated approaches in imaging, cell biology, biophysics, and molecular biology.
Dr. Galbraith earned a B.S.E. in Bioengineering with a minor in Mechanical Engineering and an M.S.E. in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania. She received her Ph.D. in Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences (Bioengineering) from the University of California, San Diego, and completed postdoctoral training in Cell Biology at Duke University Medical Center. She joined OHSU in 2013 after prior positions at the National Institutes of Health. Her research applies emerging technologies to address questions in cellular decision-making processes.
