Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKieran Brown is a Staff Scientist at NASA Ames specializing in single-cell RNA-sequencing to unravel the molecular drivers of space anemia, and a bioinformatics-minded data analyst who shapes space ‘omics pipelines at NASA GeneLab. With eight years of interdisciplinary experience spanning biology, nuclear science, astrophysics, and engineering, he translates complex datasets from rodent spaceflight experiments into actionable insights for human space health. He has a track record of building practical tools and integrations—saving researchers hundreds of hours by automating metadata workflows and linking lab systems with SLIMS. Kieran also leads education initiatives, directing undergraduate teams to produce accessible space biology curricula in collaboration with UCSF and Berkeley labs. Outside the lab he balances curiosity with physical rigor—coaching gymnastics, camping, and volunteering in STEM outreach—and is entering a PhD program in biophysics to deepen his research impact.
