Biography
Laurence Wilson is the team leader of the Digital Genome Engineering team, part of the Australian eHealth Research Consortium. His focus lies in developing computational methods for the design and optimization of genome engineering technologies and applying them in the fields of gene therapy and biosecurity.
He received a PhD in Bioinformatics from the Australian National University and undertook Postdoctoral training at the Institut Curie in Paris, focusing on how chromatin dynamics influence cancer progress and weather this information can be leveraged to inform patient treatment decisions. He joined CSIRO in 2016 as a post-doc in the Transformational Bioinformatics Group, applying machine learning to better understand the dynamics of CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering.
