Biography

Will Siero is the project manager for the Gen V initiative at the Melbourne Children's Campus where he has been working for 7 years at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute. Will's studies involve developing expertise in collaboration, communication, process and project management, strategy and developing an understanding of a large range of scientific disciplines including genetics, bioinformatics, statistics, epidemiology, proteomics, metabolomics, human biology, physiology and product development. Initially working on smaller collaborative projects in the areas of autoimmunity and child health, Will has worked across a number of large collaborative projects (multiple organisations and greater than 100 members). These include the International Childhood Cancer Cohort Consortium (I4C) with 22 studies across 15 countries and 380,000 mother child pairs; and the RV3 Vaccine clinical trial program with clinical trials in both New Zealand and Indonesia. Will sits on a number of institutional committees on the development of collaborative infrastructure, including LifeCourse and the Melbourne Children's Bioresource Centre initiatives.
