Dan Koboldt is a Principal Investigator at the Institute for Genomic Medicine at Nationwide Children's Hospital, and a Research Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University.

Previously, he worked as a staff scientist for the Genome Institute at Washington University, where he contributed to high-profile projects including the first cancer genome (AML1), the Cancer Genome Atlas, the 1,000 Genomes Project, and the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project.

He is the developer of VarScan, a widely-used somatic mutation caller for next-generation sequencing data, and MendelScan, a variant prioritization and disease gene mapping tool for family-based sequencing studies of inherited disease.

At Nationwide Children’s, his group specializes in developing tools for the analysis and interpretation of next-generation sequencing data, particularly as applied to study rare genetic diseases in children.
