Summary
Gabriele Droege is a biology and data specialist with 11 years’ experience coordinating the DNA Bank Network at the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin, combining hands-on curation with database design for biological collections. He built and maintains the Corvids Literature Database—about 5,500 entries—demonstrating deep domain expertise in ornithology (especially corvids), ecology and palaeontology alongside technical skills in integrating GBIF, BHL and other web services. Previously a technical assistant at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, he brings practical lab and collection workflows into scalable data systems. Based in Berlin, he bridges biodiversity research and informatics, turning complex specimen and literature records into interoperable, searchable resources. An understated strength is his ability to translate taxonomic knowledge into reusable database schemas that support long-term curation and discovery.
