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.

Tick-borne diseases can look different for every patient: fatigue, pain, neurological symptoms, and more. For those still searching for answers, the journey can feel overwhelming.

That’s why the right test is so important. At Galaxy Diagnostics, we’re advancing more sensitive direct detection methods designed to uncover infections that standard tests may miss, so patients can move from uncertainty to clarity.

💚Every patient’s journey deserves answers rooted in accuracy and trust.

Too often, patients struggling with persistent symptoms are overlooked because their experience doesn’t align with standard test results.

We believe every patient’s story is important. That’s why we’re developing more sensitive direct detection methods, to close the gap between lived experience and lab data, and to help bring clarity where answers have been missing.

💚Because behind every test is a person, and their story deserves to be heard.

Behind every scientific breakthrough is a moment like this: a team, collaborating with purpose and passion. Our BBB Direct Detect test is the culmination of thoughtful innovation in the lab.

We’re refining how to combine sample enrichment and digital PCR to elevate our direct detection of Bartonella, Babesia, and Borrelia. By partitioning samples into thousands of droplets and enriching for elusive pathogens, our test achieves greater sensitivity compared to conventional methods.

This isn’t just about better data. It’s about giving patients a clearer path to answers when standard tests fall short. Great science happens when remarkable people come together.

💚 When the tick-borne disease community comes together, powerful things happen.

This weekend, our CEO headed to NYC for Project Lab Coat – a fashion-meets-advocacy event using the runway to highlight Lyme disease.

It was an incredible chance to reconnect, meet other advocates in the space, and most importantly, raise money for Global Lyme Alliance, Lyme Light Foundation, and Project Lyme.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this happen, and to all the individuals helping to move the needle on tick-borne disease.

⚠️ Did you know? A recent study found that 50% of adult blacklegged ticks carry Lyme-causing bacteria. Even more concerning, up to 25% of tiny nymph ticks (often no bigger than a poppy seed) are also infected.

This is why prevention and early, accurate detection are so critical. At Galaxy Diagnostics, we’re advancing direct detection methods that push past the limits of traditional testing, because every patient deserves answers they can trust.

💜 September is Pain Awareness Month, a time to honor and acknowledge the millions living with chronic pain every day.

For many battling tick-borne disease, pain isn’t just a symptom, it’s a constant companion that impacts every part of life. Too often, these patients are left searching for answers.

We believe patients deserve more than dismissal. They deserve sensitive, accurate testing that can help uncover the root cause and guide the path toward healing.

This month, and every month, we stand with those living in pain, and remain committed to advancing diagnostics that bring hope and clarity.

That’s right – HALF of infections can go undetected with standard tests. That’s where digital PCR makes a difference.

In a new study:

✅85.5% of samples carried piroplasmids
✅33.6% carried Bartonella spp.
✅16.7% carried Borrelia spp.

Compared to traditional methods, digital PCR uncovered far more infections, more proof that these advanced tools can reveal what standard testing often overlooks.

Here at Galaxy Diagnostics, we’re working to change the narrative!

By advancing direct detection methods with sample enrichment technologies, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in tick-borne disease diagnostics, so patients can get real answers, not dismissals.

💚We believe every patient deserves to be seen, believed, and accurately diagnosed.

🔎Galaxy Watch | What’s Making Headlines in Vector-Borne Disease

Tick-borne diseases continue to receive national media attention, and for good reason.

Here are some recent stories that have made headlines:

✅National Geographic | Tick populations are surging in U.S. urban green spaces.
✅NPR| Public health officials warn that as tick species migrate into new regions due to climate change, inadequate surveillance is leaving doctors ill-prepared to recognize and treat tick-borne illnesses.
✅NBC News |Researchers warn that climate change is aiding the spread of the invasive longhorned tick across the U.S., potentially increasing the risk of ehrlichiosis.
✅New York Times | Justin Timberlake revealed he battled Lyme disease during his world tour, continuing to perform despite severe symptoms to raise awareness.

At Galaxy Diagnostics, we believe early detection, accurate testing, and public awareness are key to stopping the spread of vector-borne diseases.

As always, we’re so thankful to the journalists helping bring these issues to light!
