Justin Wagner is a Computer Scientist on the NIST Human Genomics team developing whole human genome benchmarks for the Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) consortium. He has contributed to GIAB benchmarks including an expansion of the GIAB small variant benchmark using long and linked read sequencing, a targeted diploid assembly benchmark of the Major Histocompatibility Complex, a benchmark for a subset of medically-relevant and difficult-to-characterize genes, and an in-progress tumor/normal benchmark. He also co-leads the NCCoE Genomic Data Cybersecurity and Privacy Project with more information available at https://www.nccoe.nist.gov/projects/cybersecurity-and-privacy-genomic-data.
