James J. Galligan, PhD

Principal Investigator

Dr. Galligan received his PhD in Pharmacology from the University of Colorado Denver in 2012 in the laboratory of Dr. Dennis Petersen. His work was focused on the role of the endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress responses in the alcoholic liver. He then joined the laboratory of Dr. Lawrence Marnett at Vanderbilt University to complete his post-doctoral training. Here, his work elucidated two novel histone modifications stemming from endogenous electrophilic metabolites. Dr. Galligan is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Arizona in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology.
