Professional Background

Sam Gebre joined the Space Biosciences Research Branch (Code SCR) as a Technical Manager. Over the last 6 + years, Sam supported the GeneLab Project as the Data Curation Lead and the Deputy Project Manager. GeneLab is the first comprehensive space-related omics database where users can upload, download, share, store, and analyze spaceflight and spaceflight-relevant data from experiments using model organisms. In October 2022, Sam took over as Project Manager for the NASA Biological Institutional Scientific Collection (NBISC). As part of NASA’s Open Science initiatives, NBISC is a biorepository of non-human samples from NASA-funded spaceflight investigations and correlative ground studies in which through identification, documentation and preservation the scientific collections are available to the public community. Prior to joining NASA, Sam has experience supporting bioinformatics analysis and data curation at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) database and working as a biologist at a global biorepository.
