About us
GeneLab is an interactive, open-access resource where scientists can upload, download, store, search, share, transfer, and analyze omics data from spaceflight and corresponding analogue experiments. Users can explore GeneLab datasets in the Data Repository, analyze data using the Analysis Platform, and create collaborative projects using the Collaborative Workspace. GeneLab promises to facilitate and improve information sharing, foster innovation, and increase the pace of scientific discovery from extremely rare and valuable space biology experiments. Discoveries made using GeneLab have begun and will continue to deepen our understanding of biology, advance the field of genomics, and help to discover cures for diseases, create better diagnostic tools, and ultimately allow astronauts to better withstand the rigors of long-duration spaceflight. GeneLab helps scientists understand how the fundamental building blocks of life itself – DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites – change from exposure to microgravity, radiation, and other aspects of the space environment. GeneLab does so by providing fully coordinated epigenomics, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics data alongside essential metadata describing each spaceflight and space-relevant experiment. By carefully curating and implementing best practices for data standards, users can combine individual GeneLab datasets to gain new, comprehensive insights about the effects of spaceflight on biology. In this way, GeneLab extends the scientific knowledge gained from each biological experiment conducted in space, allowing scientists from around the world to make novel discoveries and develop new hypotheses from these priceless data.

🚀 I’m super thrilled to the stars ✨ and back to announce that our groundbreaking work on space omics and the SOMA medical atlas, spearheaded by the visionary leadership of Christopher Mason and Afshin Beheshti , alongside incredible teams from around the globe, has been featured on the cover of Nature 🌌 Our research sheds new light on the effects of spaceflight on human and microbial biology, mapping these phenomena with unprecedented detail. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the fields of aerospace medicine and space biology, pushing the boundaries of what we know and what we can achieve. I'm especially proud to acknowledge the outstanding contributions from my lab and team members, including Josef Borg Christine Gatt and Dr Anu R I Jean Calleja-Agius who played key roles in several publications across Springer Nature Group. As we set a new standard at the Faculty of Health Sciences - University of Malta, the challenge now is to sustain and build upon this momentum. I’m eager to explore new opportunities for collaboration to continue advancing our research and impact Yong Hou "Exploration knows no bounds when science guides the way." I welcome any professionals interested in collaboration or learning more about our work to reach out. Together, we can push the frontiers of #science even further.

Recent advancements in #genetics and omics technologies are paving the way for personalized health and treatment recommendations. While we've made significant progress in identifying common and rare alleles across millions of human genomes 🧬 , their implications for aerospace medicine remain underexplored. A review article led by Christopher Mason Stefania Giacomello George Church and other colleagues published alleles that potentially offer protection against #cancer and enhance bone, muscle, and cardiovascular health. Despite technical and ethical challenges, understanding these protective mechanisms could revolutionize nutrition, exercise, and health guidelines for astronauts 🧑🚀 on deep space missions. The future of #space health is promising, and we're excited about the possibilities 🚀🚀 See more about this article published under SOMA right here -> https://lnkd.in/eUw-xycz

Afshin Beheshti and colleagues’ previous research identified a key microRNA signature associated with spaceflight, which can serve as a biomarker and aid in developing countermeasures to mitigate space radiation ☢️ damage. Building on this work, they investigated the biological factors affected by these countermeasures. Through RNA-sequencing and transcriptomic analysis of 3D microvessel cell cultures 🧫 exposed to simulated deep space radiation (0.5 Gy of Galactic Cosmic Radiation), they examined the effects of antagonists to three microRNAs: miR-16-5p, miR-125b-5p, and let-7a-5p (antagomirs). The results showed a significant reduction in inflammation and DNA 🧬 double-strand breaks (DSBs) activity 😮 , along with the rescue of mitochondrial functions post-antagomir treatment. Using data from astronaut 🧑🚀 participants in the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Twin Study, SpaceX Inspiration4, and JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency missions, they identified genes and pathways affected by these antagomirs in humans. Their findings propose a viable countermeasure strategy that astronauts can use to mitigate space radiation damage during spaceflight missions 🚀 including deep space (Kimberly Washington) Please see the full text published as part of the SOMA collection right here -> https://lnkd.in/esxyMfTd NASA GeneLab Spaceomix Space Applications Services NV/SA Weill Cornell Medicine Blue Marble Space Institute of Science
