Research Focus
Dr. Alexander Greninger's lab focuses on enhancing the public sharing of viral genomic data, which is essential for developing vaccines and therapies. They are working on an automated system to improve the quality and speed of viral genome annotations, making it easier for researchers to share data related to viruses that significantly impact public health. Their goal is to prepare for future pandemics by ensuring that viral sequencing data is accurately validated and readily accessible.
