Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Schroeder is a Senior Data Curator with over 10 years of experience building metadata models and cloud-based data submission systems for large-scale genomics and imaging projects, currently leading curation efforts for the NIH-funded 4D Nucleome Consortium at Harvard Medical School. He bridges biology and software, working directly with data providers to translate experimental outputs into structured NoSQL records and evolving schemas that power the 4DN data portal. Prior roles at FlyBase honed his expertise in genome database design, Chado schema implementation, and bioinformatics tooling across Postgres, Perl, and BioPerl. Trained as a molecular biologist with a PhD and postdoctoral research in neurobiology, he brings domain depth that informs pragmatic metadata standards and tooling decisions. Colleagues rely on him to make complex biological datasets discoverable, auditable, and cloud-native — often surfacing edge-case metadata needs before they become pipeline failures.
