Research and Expertise

Research Interests

The majority of Dr. Galloway-Pena's studies have incorporated the genetic basis of pathogenesis as well as the molecular epidemiology of clinically relevant gram-positive pathogens, focusing on those with multi-drug resistance. She has more recently shifted her focus to microbiome dynamics during cancer therapy and the microbiome's impact on cancer treatment outcomes and toxicities. Clinical applications of her research include determining genetic and chemical markers for microbial diversity that can be used in the clinical setting, designing predictive risk models for toxicity risk during chemotherapy, and promoting antimicrobial stewardship and microbial conscious treatments during cancer therapy.
