Graham Galloway has 27 years experience in development of applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy in protein chemistry, physiology, clinical medicine and material science. He currently heads the MRI research group at The University of Queensland (physicists, biochemists, clinicians, radiographers, psychologists, engineers, computer scientists), and is responsible for coordinating the collaborative endeavours of the group, and ensuring that the facility meets the needs of the wider research community. He sees his major role as developing new areas of research endeavour and encouraging his staff to pursue new directions and push the boundaries of the technology. He instigated and is the program coordinator for The University of Queensland's Magnetic Resonance Technology Postgraduate Teaching Program, a distance education program, aimed at radiographers and medical physicists, which teaches the underlying principles and latest applications of Magnetic Resonance.
Graham has supervised 12 PhD students in pulse sequence development, measurement of cardiac strain, studies of muscle metabolism, image analysis and processing in Alzheimers, water movement in concrete, functional MRI, development of 23Na MRI, musculature of the knee and training, changes in cartilage in osteoarthritis, musculature changes in Whiplash, measurement of fat deposits as a function of disease, exercise or diet, development of novel rf coils, development of new gradient technology, applications of MR in toxicology and animal physiology.
Graham’s research career has always placed him at the forefront of developments in the field, from his first postdoctoral fellowship at Oxford University, which coincided with the arrival of the first whole body magnetic resonance system capable of performing MR spectroscopy, to coordinating the installation of the first 4T MRI system in Australia, and the first 4T system based on a truly clinical interface. As such, he has always in a position of finding innovative solutions to novel problems, of breaking new ground, of pushing the envelope of research using magnetic resonance.
He has 58 peer reviewed publications, of which 9 have been cited more than 40 times. His publications include the first human liver and heart spectra, novel pulse sequences for volume selection and water suppression and the first 3D FSE echo experiments.
Within the University of Queensland, he developed the first fMRI experiment, was instrumental in the highly successful longitudinal study of Alzheimers, and led the first successful MR based drug trial at the University of Queensland. He spent 3 years working for Bruker, where his role was to coordinate the development the user interface and advanced applications for the current MRI product. His main responsibility was to bring together the various disciplines of engineering, information technology and medicine.
His role in all projects is characterised by his multidisciplinary background, which ensures that he is able to draw together these apparently disparate threads.
