Galaxy Diagnostics

Galaxy Diagnostics We offer advanced diagnostic test solutions that go beyond the limits of detection for low- abundance pathogens.

We test for a range of flea and tick-borne pathogens, specializing in Bartonella, Borrelia, and Babesia. Galaxy Diagnostics is building awareness about Bartonella as a potential cause of disease in animals and humans. The purpose of this page is to share the latest Bartonella research and other developments related to this important area of emerging infectious disease. The CDC reports that over 60% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic (from animals). Vectors (insects and arthropods) play an important role in transmission of zoonotic diseases. The One World, One Health Initiative was launched recently to focus attention on the intersections between human health, animal health, and the health of the environment. It is critical that medical practitioners and public health workers become aware of the risk factors and clinical symptoms associated with all zoonotic infections, including the ones linked to chronic disorders.

Making your New Year’s resolutions? So are we.

As we step into a new year, our mission remains clear. Every single day, we will push tick-borne disease detection forward, because every patient matters.

At Galaxy, we know that behind every sample is a real person searching for answers.

Many of us have been there ourselves, and that lived experience helps to fuel our commitment to getting accurate testing into the hands who need it most.

Every patient strengthens our resolve to make testing more accessible and to help advance a standard of care that truly works. From all of us at Galaxy, we wish you health, and the answers you deserve.

When you’re dealing with constant symptoms and know something is off, being told “everything looks normal” can feel devastating.

This 22-year-old patient lived with fatigue, leg pain, and muscle tightness that no treatment could touch. Nothing added up – until her clinician explored the possibility of a vector-borne infection.

Galaxy’s testing detected Babesia and immune reactivity to several Bartonella species – findings that finally pointed toward answers and next steps.

For patients who feel overlooked or unheard: answers are possible.

Tick-borne disease can be difficult to detect – and not all tests are equipped to reflect the full picture.

At Galaxy Diagnostics, we’re committed to raising the bar with science-driven, clinically relevant testing that helps uncover what others may miss.

Knowledge is power. The right test matters.

Oh, the places we went in 2025!

This year brought real progress in our efforts to improve tick-borne disease diagnostics.

None of it would have been possible without a dedicated team and a community that continually inspires our work.

Here’s to the strides we made – and to an even more meaningful 2026.

🔎 Galaxy Watch | Top Vector Borne Disease Headlines of 2025

This year brought so much national attention to vector borne diseases. From new research and rising case reports to high profile human interest stories, coverage from outlets from the Associated Press to US Weekly helped keep these issues in the public eye.

At Galaxy Diagnostics, we believe increased public awareness helps to slow the spread of vector borne diseases and support better care for patients.

We are grateful to the journalists and storytellers who continue to highlight these important topics. Their coverage helps people ask better questions, seek timely care, and stay informed.

As we wrap up the year, our holiday wishlist is all about the things that move patients closer to clarity and care 🎄

From accessible diagnostic testing and compassionate clinicians to greater awareness of how microbes can drive symptoms, every wish reflects what patients need most.

We are committed to continued innovation, better tools, and a future where answers come sooner and suffering ends faster. Most of all, we wish hope, validation, and real progress for everyone still searching for what comes next.

Here is to an even brighter year ahead.

If testing were truly accurate, patients wouldn’t still be searching for answers.

At Galaxy Diagnostics, we’re changing that by using innovative digital PCR to detect low-abundance, stealth pathogens that traditional methods often miss.

Unlocking answers isn’t just our mission. It’s how we help patients move closer to an accurate diagnosis and a clearer path forward.

The HHS Lyme disease roundtable last Monday marked an important step forward, especially for patients and caregivers who have spent years navigating uncertainty and, at times, conflicting or invalidating messaging.

Galaxy CEO shares why this moment mattered, and why diagnostics remain such a central issue in improving patient care.

At Galaxy Diagnostics, we believe progress happens when clinicians, researchers, patient advocates, and industry leaders work together. That’s why we’re proud to support organizations like .lyme, who are focused on translating science into real-world care, and making sure that information gets into the hands of clinicians on the front line of the crisis.

Because patients deserve access to care informed by the most current science – and diagnostics play a critical role in getting them there.

We’re stronger when the ecosystem moves forward together 💚

The connection between infection and mental health is becoming harder to ignore.

In one study, 65% of patients with schizophrenia tested positive for Bartonella. This demonstrates how important it is to look beyond symptoms and explore the full picture of what may be influencing the brain and body.

The next frontier in psychiatry may involve understanding how stealth infections impact inflammation, immune signaling, and neurological health. Insight like this helps clinicians ask better questions and create more informed care plans.

Galaxy Team Member Briana Horan explains why faster and more accurate detection matters so much for patients facing tick borne infections.

When treatment is delayed, infections have more time to take hold. When patients can be diagnosed earlier and providers know exactly which pathogen is involved, treatment can begin sooner and the chances of progressing to chronic illness are lower.

This is why we work so hard to advance testing technology. Patients who are already dealing with long term symptoms are suffering, and they deserve better tools, better clarity, and better options for care.

This week’s national Lyme disease roundtable reinforced what patients have been saying for years: tick-borne illness is complex, and better diagnostics are critical to improving care.

For too many people, the journey to answers has been long and frustrating. At Galaxy Diagnostics, we’re committed to advancing the science behind tick-borne disease testing so clinicians have better tools – and patients can get the care that they deserve.

Progress takes time, but conversations like this remind us that meaningful change is underway. We’re proud to be a part of it.
