Research summary
AI-generated

Alex H. Wagner works on standardizing and sharing genomic and cancer variant data so that different databases, clinics, and research tools can interpret this information consistently. This includes building software tools, nomenclature standards, and community guidelines for describing genetic variants, gene names, and their clinical significance, particularly in cancer genomics and pharmacogenomics (how genes affect drug response). Much of the work involves collaborating with large consortia such as GA4GH and ClinGen to create shared technical standards used across the genomics research community.
