Biography:

Dr Kevin Williams is the Project Coordinator of the DFAT-funded PRIME-TB, a partnership that will develop four “fast-track” sites (Yogyakarta, Port Moresby, Mimika and Daru) as knowledge and innovation hubs in TB elimination that will catalyse implementation, develop the workforce, strengthen systems, including addressing drug resistant TB outbreaks.

Previously at Menzies, he was Program Manager of the NHMRC-funded The Communicate Study Partnership, a collaborative program working towards ensuring more Aboriginal patients receive culturally safe healthcare, and HOT NORTH, a multidisciplinary collaboration involving eight of Australia’s leading health research organisations that aimed to improve health outcomes in the tropical north through projects that link organisations, translate research into outcomes and create pathways for health professionals.

Prior to this, he held positions as Program Manager and CEO of the Cooperative Research Centre for Remote Economic Participation, Director of the Northern Territory Centre for Renewable Energy and leader of the Plant and Pathogen Molecular Genetics and Algal Biofuels groups at the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI).
