Sam Buckberry

I am a biologist who works at the intersection of epigenetics, genomics, bioinformatics, medical research and public health.

I currently lead the epigenetics program in Indigenous Genomics at the Telethon Kids Institute. Here, my research is focused using epigenetics, genomics, and cutting-edge data analytics to advance chronic disease prediction, prevention, and treatment. I also work on innovating ways to implement best practices in indigenous data sovereignty, privacy and security into state-of-the-art data systems for public and precision health.
