Fellow
Department of Surgery, Cardiovascular
and Thoracic Division
Postdoctoral Fellowship
"Stem Cell Induced Restoration of Myocardial Microstructure in a Canine
Infarct Model"
Mentor: R. Morton Bolman, M.D.
Dr. Gallegos is a native of the state of New Mexico. His education was completed
at the University of California, San Diego, where he obtained his BS in biological
engineering and his medical doctorate.
Dr. Gallegos plans to apply his knowledge of engineering to his interest in
cardiovascular disease. His current research interest is the field of tissue
replacement for the treatment of cardiac failure. He is introducing adult bone
marrow stem cells into injured myocardium, and documenting the change in structure
and function through the use of cardiac MRI.
Dr. Gallegos has a lovely wife Na Ju and an adorable son Noah, both of whom
tolerate his desire to work too many hours each day.
