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.
