Product Manager , Ontario Institute for Cancer Research

Mitchell Shiell serves as Product Manager and Outreach Lead for the Genome Informatics team at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR), helping drive the development of the Overture platform. Overture is an open-source collection of software used to build platforms that manage research data at scale across major global initiatives including ICGC-ARGO (100,000+ cancer patients), PCGL (large genomic files), OHCRN (hereditary cancer data), and iMicroSeq (600,000+ viral genomes).

A large part of his work centers on making these data management capabilities accessible to smaller research groups through user-centered design, deployment automations, and comprehensive documentation. His group's mission is to empower research teams of all sizes to connect and collaborate over their data.
