Galeano was a faculty member at the National University of Colombia, and was the director of the Institute of Natural Sciences from 2003 to 2006. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Aarhus, Denmark in 1997.^[2]

Galeano authored taxonomic descriptions of 58 species, subspecies and varieties of plants, especially in the palm family.^[3] She published 17 books, 68 scientific papers, and 15 book chapters, mostly on palm and its taxonomy, systematics, ecology, uses, traditional knowledge, ecology, conservation and harvest impacts of Colombian plants and Neotropical palms.^[4] She also co-authored a field guide to the palms of the Americas.^[5]
