This role will support the development, implementation and adoption of open-source technical standards for genomic data sharing. Based at EMBL-EBI, this role is part of an expansion of our technical team, led by our Chief Standards Officer (CSO), to increase support for our large community of contributors.

Scientists may better understand and test for the genetic variations that cause cancer and other heritable diseases through the application of a novel strategy for securely sharing and analysing genomic data. GA4GH gave guidance on what data sharing can be done legally and responsibly and helped establish methods to make the Genomics Institute software portable across different operating systems and environments to allow for collaboration like that in this project.
On 5April 2022, initiatives from around the globe will convene for a virtual meeting of the Genomics in Health Implementation Forum (GHIF). This focused workshop aims to share the status of international efforts establishing genomic newborn screening programmes and identify areas for engagement with GA4GH Work Streams.
