Our Research

Galaxy Diagnostics was founded by academic researchers and continues to lead with science that’s transparent, published, and reproducible. We believe diagnostics must be grounded in data that providers can trust and that trust starts with evidence that’s available, validated, and clinically useful.

Key Areas of Scientific Contribution

Digital PCR application in infectious disease diagnostics

Culture-based detection and clinical relevance of Bartonella

Diagnostic strategies for vector-borne pathogens in chronic cases

How Our Research Informs the Diagnostics We Deliver

All methods rigorously validated to ensure reproducibility, trust, and clinical utility

Peer-reviewed science informs every step of test development

Transparent methodology is available to providers on request

Scientific Leadership Behind the Research

Galaxy’s research leadership includes:



Galaxy offers cutting-edge pathogen testing for clinical trials, research, and diagnostic innovations.

We provide pathogen testing and other diagnostic testing services for clinical trials, epidemiological studies, basic research initiatives and new diagnostic test development, as requested by a variety of stakeholders including industry, civilian or military governmental agencies, academic and non-profit organizations. We offer both CLIA-validated molecular and serological assays testing for a growing range of zoonotic, vector-borne infectious agents, including Bartonella spp, Borrelia spp.
