After completing his M.S., Koren joined the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) as a bioinformatics engineer under the supervision of Granger Sutton.[1] During his three years at JCVI, he contributed to the development of the Celera Assembler, which has been used to assemble both the Drosophila melanogaster and human genomes.[1] In parallel, Koren worked under the supervision Mihai Pop at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he developed several tools for metagenome assembly and analysis.[1]
In 2010, Koren joined the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) where he led genome assembly development and pioneered the use of single-molecule sequencing for the reconstruction of complete genomes.[1] In 2015, Koren joined the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) as a founding member of the genome informatics section.[1] He is an associate investigator in the Genome Informatics Section, Computational and Statistical Genomics Branch at the National Human Genome Research Institute.[1] In 2022, he was one of the lead authors on the publication reporting the first complete female human genome.[2]
