Enabling best practice in cohort management and research
The Melbourne Children's LifeCourse initiative includes over 30 clinical and population-based longitudinal studies, spanning 0-35 years (including two trans-generational studies), involving over 70,000 participants, 500 million data points (excluding bioanalyses) and 250,000 biosample aliquots.
These studies provide a unique opportunity to inform new approaches to prevention and treatment across childhood and adolescence. The vision of LifeCourse is to maximise the value of these studies to inform better outcomes for children and adolescents across the continuum of care.
As Program Manager, my role is to provide senior leadership and ambassadorship for the MCRI’s unique LifeCourse initiative. This includes building and maintaining central infrastructure to support cohort excellence, as well as undertaking original research analysing data from across cohorts.
