MACSYS

A huge thanks to @macsys.bsky.social for supporting our 10th PhD Course - we could not have done it without you! 👏

The students were given a good taste of the interdisciplinary nature of MACSYS research - from biology, to maths, to AI, machine learning and computer science - with the hopes this next generation will feel more comfortable working across disciplines to tackle big scientific challenges!

MACSYS is proud to support this year's EMBL Australia PhD program as it brings together more than 60 high-achieving PhD students from across the country for this unique, two-week residential course. For 2 days this week, MACSYS researchers led the program's sessions.

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.

MACSYS has launched!

This past week, MACSYS celebrated our official Centre Launch! Below is the group photo from our event🥳at Science Gallery Melbourne. We can't to see where this amazing journey takes us over the next few years!
👉News story on launch: macsys.org/macsys-centr...

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.

Reflecting back on an extraordinary week on Bruny Island as part of #ATSIMA2025 a chance to connect with brilliant people doing brilliant things. Thank you atsima.com
