About

Galo Garcia III

I bridge two worlds: bench science and computational data analysis. Trained as a molecular and cell biologist (Ph.D., UC Berkeley), I’ve spent years at the bench and behind the microscope, uncovering disease mechanisms at the nanoscale and developing new assays, imaging approaches, and analytical tools. My work spans advanced microscopy, quantitative image analysis, and high-content experimental pipelines, with an emphasis on rigor, reproducibility, and biological insight. Recent work includes assay design and validation, high-content imaging pipelines, and production-quality molecular visuals for scientific and investor communications. I collaborate quickly, translate complex biology into clear results, and deliver polished, decision-ready outputs.
