Galat is an Assistant professor in the Department of Pathology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and director of Children's Hospital of Chicago Research Center's Stem Cell Core Facility. Dr. Galat was the first to develop and introduce the hESC lines harboring the mutations specific for human diseases and and characterized a novel type of embryonic stem cells that contribute to a developing yolk sack. Consequently he has been working on establishing, molecular characterization and directed differentiation of hESCs and iPSC lines Galat is an Assistant professor in the Department of Pathology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and director of Children's Hospital of Chicago Research Center's Stem Cell Core Facility.
