Dr Gallo completed his undergraduate degree at Simon Fraser University (Burnaby, BC) and his PhD degree at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, BC). He undertook his postdoctoral fellowship at the Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto, ON), where he discovered epigenetic and chromatin regulatory mechanisms used by glioblastoma cells to achieve and maintain cancer stem cell states. Dr Gallo started his laboratory at the University of Calgary in December 2015. His research interests focus on decoding the relationships between epigenomic features and cancer stem cell phenotypes in adult and pediatric brain cancers by integrating genomic and functional assays with patient-derived preclinical models.
