Biography

Dr. Wagner has a long-standing interest in applications of machine learning techniques to bioinformatics problems such as protein structure prediction, disease classification and protein identification. He is also involved in a number of projects that implement complex software and data infrastructure. For the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute-funded Pediatric Cardiology Genomics Consortium, part of the Bench to Bassinet project, he plays a leadership role in the development and maintenance of the Data Hub (a.k.a. HeartsMart), which now houses tens of thousands of whole exome and thousands of whole genome sequencing data sets. He is co-principal investigator on the Longitudinal Pediatric Data Resource (LPDR) project funded through the Newborn Screening Translational Research Network and National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The LPDR is being used by researchers nationwide to mine health outcome data over the lifespan of children who screen positive for rare and often devastating genetic disorders. Dr. Wagner also leads the Rheumatology Disease Research Informatics Core of the Cincinnati Rheumatic Diseases Core Center, which is funded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
