Distinguished Speaker Seminar - Dr. Garcia

The Neuro Youth Club is pleased to announce the seminar by Dr. Galo Garcia. Dr. Galo Garcia is a molecular and cell biologist who studies how living cells organize and adapt at microscopic scales. He earned his undergraduate from Harvard, his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and has worked at the intersection of biology, imaging, and engineering — from studying rare genetic disorders to creating custom tools for observing single-celled organisms. He now runs SciBud Consulting, where he helps research teams design experiments and interpret data. Galo loves sharing science with students and encouraging curiosity-driven exploration.

Abstract

We’ll explore how scientists study life that’s too small to see — from single cells that can “hibernate” when their pond dries up, to tiny antenna-like structures inside our own cells that help guide brain development. I’ll share stories from my research using advanced microscopes and even 3D-printed micro-habitats to watch living cells in action. We’ll also discuss what my work looks like today as a scientific consultant, helping labs and biotech companies solve complex biological questions. No prior knowledge needed — just curiosity

The seminar will be held on 5:00pm PST, 11/7

/2025. The link for the seminar and related material will be sent out to members through email.

Thank you to those who participated in the seminar.
