From last year: a short video from the ARC Centre of Excellence MACSYS @macsys.bsky.social where I talk about my research on bringing domain knowledge into data-driven AI methods for complex biology
Meet Dr Alex Sneddon - a MACSYS Research Fellow at The Australian National University. Alex's research focuses on incorporating domain-specific knowledge into the data-driven AI methods that she uses to help MACSYS unlock insights from complex biological datasets.

The MACSYS mission - as told by more than two dozen of our researchers - 📽️VIDEO: youtu.be/JyvifQ41RZU
Why it's important, why it's so challenging, and why it's going to take a team of interdisciplinary researchers like the one MACSYS has put together to tackle this challenge.

There’s nothing quite like the energy of in-person collaboration. Last week, MACSYS researchers specialising in mathematical modelling came together for a dynamic, 2-day workshop at UNSW. It focused on exploring new collaborative opportunities for modelling membrane structure, function & metabolism.
