Space Omics

NASA has established the world leading space biology facility for generating, processing, and storing –omic datasets for space biology. This facility is called GeneLab.

The purposes of this Topical Team are to support ESA member state scientists participating in GeneLab and to study and implement future GeneLab based activities for ESA member state scientists. Examples of current activities include bi-lateral cooperation on future space biology experiments, co-authorship on original research, and bi-lateral exploration of incorporating human biology datasets into GeneLab. Examples of potential future activities include establishing physical or virtual ESA supported GeneLab infrastructure, incorporating GeneLab based experiments in new launch/operational platforms, and partnering ESA ground and space based human biology experiments with GeneLab.
