Galina holds a degree in Soft Condensed Matter Physics from Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia, and a doctorate in Chemical Physics from Clark University, USA. During postdoctoral research at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, she studied MRI of fluid flow and bio-fluid dynamics. As an independent researcher at Colorado State University, she developed hyperpolarized MRI for lung imaging and sodium MRI for soft tissue. At the University of Nottingham, she works on advanced sodium MRI and MRS techniques focused on diseases linked to physical stress, such as arthritis and sports injuries. Her research combines ultra-high field MRI (9.4T), novel microimaging, in vivo multiple quantum filtered, and hyperpolarization techniques. It is supported by research councils, industry, and charities.
