Stephen J. Galli, MD
Mary Hewitt Loveless, MD, Professor in the School of Medicine and Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goals of Dr. Galli's laboratory are to understand the regulation of mast cell and basophil development and function, and to develop and use genetic approaches to elucidate the roles of these cells in health and disease. We study both the roles of mast cells, basophils, and IgE in normal physiology and host defense, e.g., in responses to parasites and in enhancing resistance to venoms, and also their roles in pathology, e.g., anaphylaxis, food allergy, and asthma, both in mice and humans.

Christina Gangemi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioDr Christina Gangemi received her undergraduate degree from Monash University (2016) specialising in molecular biology and biochemistry. She became an Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program Scholar (2016) and completed her Honours thesis (2017) at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI), Monash University. She later joined Professor Harald Janovjak’s group at ARMI (2018) as a research assistant before completing her doctorate degree (2019-2023) where she studied optical approaches to promote pancreatic beta cell regeneration. Key achievements from this work include establishing an automated image analysis approach to quantify islet proliferation assays, designing a modular light-emitting diode shelving system for ex vivo and in vitro illumination of primary islets, generating a new assay to test cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) function (a known beta cell proliferation driver), and exploring the effects of photoswitchable pdDronpa domains when engineered into CDK6. During her candidature, she was awarded a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Australia PhD Top-Up Scholarship. In 2023 she undertook a Postdoctoral Research Associate role in the Janovjak group at Flinders University and has recently joined Professor Seung Kim's group at Stanford University.

Alex Gao
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsNature has created many powerful biomolecules that are hidden in organisms across kingdoms of life. Many of these biomolecules originate from microbes, which contain the most diverse gene pool among living organisms. We are integrating high-throughput computational and experimental approaches to harness the vast diversity of genes in microbes to develop new antibiotics and molecular biotechnology, and to investigate the evolution of proteins and molecular mechanisms in innate immunity.

Xiaojing Gao
Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHow do we design biological systems as “smart medicine” that sense patients’ states, process the information, and respond accordingly? To realize this vision, we will tackle fundamental challenges across different levels of complexity, such as (1) protein components that minimize their crosstalk with human cells and immunogenicity, (2) biomolecular circuits that function robustly in different cells and are easy to deliver, (3) multicellular consortia that communicate through scalable channels, and (4) therapeutic modules that interface with physiological inputs/outputs. Our engineering targets include biomolecules, molecular circuits, viruses, and cells, and our approach combines quantitative experimental analysis with computational simulation. The molecular tools we build will be applied to diverse fields such as neurobiology and cancer therapy.
