Dr. Galloway was a co-inventor, along with Dr. Colvin of NYU, of an advanced valve repair annuloplasty device, and has invented or developed numerous other medical devices related to cardiac surgery. Dr. Galloway's basic research laboratory studies the role intracellular signaling pathways leading to cell proliferation or apoptosis in vessel wall remodeling, graft restenosis, and cardiac remodeling.
