==Education== Galbraith studied [[Biological engineering|Bioengineering]] at the [[University of Pennsylvania]] in [[Philadelphia|Philadelphia, PA]], USA. After receiving her BSc in 1985, she attended a Master's program in Bioengineering, which she finished in 1987. Subsequently, Galbraith earned her Ph.D. in Bioengineering in 1995 at [[University of California, San Diego]], CA, USA, advised by Prof Dr [[Shu Chien]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.galbraithlab.com/about-us.html|title=About Us|website=Galbraith Lab|accessdate=15 October 2023}}</ref><ref name="auto"/>
==Career and research== For her postgraduate work between 1995 and 2000, Galbraith worked as a [[postdoctoral researcher]] with Prof Dr [[Michael Sheetz]] at [[Duke University]] in [[Durham, North Carolina|Durham]], NC, USA, focusing primarily on cell mobility and migration.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=A micromachined device provides a new bend on fibroblast traction forces|first1=Catherine G.|last1=Galbraith|first2=Michael P.|last2=Sheetz|date=19 August 1997|journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences|volume=94|issue=17|pages=9114–9118|doi=10.1073/pnas.94.17.9114|pmid=9256444|pmc=23061 |bibcode=1997PNAS...94.9114G |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|url=|title=Shear stress induces spatial reorganization of the endothelial cell cytoskeleton|first1=C.G.|last1=Galbraith|first2=R.|last2=Skalak|first3=S.|last3=Chien|date=15 October 1998|journal=Cell Motility and the Cytoskeleton|volume=40|issue=4|pages=317–330|via=CrossRef|doi=10.1002/(SICI)1097-0169(1998)40:4<317::AID-CM1>3.0.CO;2-8|pmid=9712262 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|url=|title=Cell migration: regulation of force on extracellular-matrix-integrin complexes|first1=Michael P.|last1=Sheetz|first2=Dan P.|last2=Felsenfeld|first3=Catherine G.|last3=Galbraith|date=1 February 1998|journal=Trends in Cell Biology|volume=8|issue=2|pages=51–54|doi=10.1016/S0962-8924(98)80005-6|pmid=9695809 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|url=|title=Forces on adhesive contacts affect cell function|first1=Catherine G|last1=Galbraith|first2=Michael P|last2=Sheetz|date=1 October 1998|journal=Current Opinion in Cell Biology|volume=10|issue=5|pages=566–571|doi=10.1016/S0955-0674(98)80030-6|pmid=9818165 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|title=Cell migration as a five-step cycle|first1=M.

Between 2000 and 2013, Galbraith worked at the [[National Institutes of Health]], [[Bethesda, Maryland|Bethesda]], MD, continuing her work on cell mobility and migration. First as a Research Fellow (2000-2005) and an Independent Senior Researcher (2005-2010) at the [[National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research]] (NIDCR) and finally as a scientist (2010-2013) at the [[Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development]] (NICHD).
Between 2010 and 2012, Galbraith was also, for the first time, a [[visiting scientist]] at [[Howard Hughes Medical Institute]]'s [[Janelia Research Campus]].
Collaborations with scientists at Janelia, in particular [[Eric Betzig]] and [[Harald Hess]], resulted, amongst others, in key papers that helped to establish the localization-based [[super-resolution microscopy]] technique [[Photoactivated localization microscopy]] (PALM).<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Dual-color superresolution imaging of genetically expressed probes within individual adhesion complexes|first1=Hari|last1=Shroff|first2=Catherine G.|last2=Galbraith|first3=James A.|last3=Galbraith|first4=Helen|last4=White|first5=Jennifer|last5=Gillette|first6=Scott|last6=Olenych|first7=Michael W.|last7=Davidson|first8=Eric|last8=Betzig|date=18 December 2007|journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences|volume=104|issue=51|pages=20308–20313|doi=10.1073/pnas.0710517105|pmid=18077327|pmc=2154427 |bibcode=2007PNAS..10420308S |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|title=Live-cell photoactivated localization microscopy of nanoscale adhesion dynamics|first1=Hari|last1=Shroff|first2=Catherine G.|last2=Galbraith|first3=James A.|last3=Galbraith|first4=Eric|last4=Betzig|date=15 May 2008|journal=Nature Methods|volume=5|issue=5|pages=417–423|doi=10.1038/nmeth.1202|pmid=18408726 |pmc=5225950 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|title=Interferometric fluorescent super-resolution microscopy resolves 3D cellular ultrastructure|first1=Gleb|last1=Shtengel|first2=James A.|last2=Galbraith|first3=Catherine G.|last3=Galbraith|first4=Jennifer|last4=Lippincott-Schwartz|first5=Jennifer M.|last5=Gillette|first6=Suliana|last6=Manley|first7=Rachid|last7=Sougrat|first8=Clare M.|last8=Waterman|first9=Pakorn|last9=Kanchanawong|first10=Michael W.|last10=Davidson|first11=Richard D.|last11=Fetter|first12=Harald F.|last12=Hess|date=3 March 2009|journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences|volume=106|issue=9|pages=3125–3130|doi=10.1073/pnas.0813131106|pmid=19202073|pmc=2637278 |bibcode=2009PNAS..106.3125S |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|title=Rapid three-dimensional isotropic imaging of living cells using Bessel beam plane illumination|first1=Thomas A.|last1=Planchon|first2=Liang|last2=Gao|first3=Daniel E.|last3=Milkie|first4=Michael W.|last4=Davidson|first5=James A.|last5=Galbraith|first6=Catherine G.|last6=Galbraith|first7=Eric|last7=Betzig|date=15 May 2011|journal=Nature Methods|volume=8|issue=5|pages=417–423|doi=10.1038/nmeth.1586|pmid=21378978 |pmc=3626440 }}</ref> Betzig received the [[Nobel Prize]] for PALM in 2014.
Since 2013, Galbraith has been an [[Associate professor|Associate Professor]] of [[Biomedical engineering|Biomedical Engineering]] at [[Oregon Health & Science University|OHSU]] and Discovery Engine Investigator at [[Knight Cancer Institute]].<ref name="auto"/>
Together with her husband, James Galbraith, Galbraith uses multidisciplinary approaches and advanced [[microscopy]] techniques to explore the mechanisms behind cellular decision-making in a variety of processes, including motility, [[synaptogenesis]], and [[metastasis]].<ref>{{Cite journal|title=New technologies in imaging|first1=Catherine G.|last1=Galbraith|first2=Philipp J.|last2=Keller|first3=Eva|last3=Nogales|date=15 March 2013|journal=Molecular Biology of the Cell|volume=24|issue=6|pages=669|doi=10.1091/mbc.e12-12-0867|pmid=23486393|pmc=3596229}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|title=Changes in single-molecule integrin dynamics linked to local cellular behavior|first1=Khuloud|last1=Jaqaman|first2=James A.|last2=Galbraith|first3=Michael W.|last3=Davidson|first4=Catherine G.|last4=Galbraith|editor-first=Jennifer|editor-last=Lippincott-Schwartz|date=15 May 2016|journal=Molecular Biology of the Cell|volume=27|issue=10|pages=1561–1569|doi=10.1091/mbc.E16-01-0018|pmid=27009207|pmc=4865314}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|url=|title=Using single molecule imaging to explore intracellular heterogeneity|first1=James A.|last1=Galbraith|first2=Catherine G.|last2=Galbraith|date=1 October 2023|journal=The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology|volume=163|article-number=106455|doi=10.1016/j.biocel.2023.106455|pmid=37586643 |pmc=10528986 |arxiv=2308.01431 }}</ref>
