In addition to her clinical responsibilities, Dr. Galvan has participated extensively in both clinical and basic / translational research and has presented her findings at multiple national conferences. Her current translational lab research is related to improving outcomes for patients with glioblastoma multiforme by optimizing a combination of immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and novel anti-cancer drugs.
