Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Wagner is a Principal Investigator and tenure-track Assistant Professor with 11 years of experience at the intersection of clinical bioinformatics, cancer genomics, and web development. As an NHGRI Genomic Innovator and K99/R00 scholar, he directs the international Variant Interpretation for Cancer Consortium (VICC) and co-leads GA4GH’s Variant Representation group to build standards for computable biomolecular variation. His work drives scalable genomic medicine and AI-assisted variant interpretation through open, reusable frameworks and web resources used in precision oncology. Trained as a computational geneticist with a PhD from the University of Iowa, he combines hands-on tool development (including contributions to cancer data resources and DGIdb) with clinical laboratory experience, giving him a rare blend of informatics, bench-aware insight, and standards leadership.
