MACSYS-CoE

We are MACSYS, an ARC-funded initiative to generate whole cell models for fundamental science, design in synthetic biology, and biotechnology. We compute life.

Please RT: new @MacsysCoe & @TheoryLivingSys webinar by Prof. Bas Teusink https://t.co/PmkYo0SAFz
on Wednesday 22nd of November at 3:30pm AEDT (GMT+11 - Syd/Mel/Can).
Very much looking forward to our first whole cell modelling seminar.

[Michael P.H. Stumpf @theosysbio]

One of the important tests for mammalian whole cell models could be to test/explain the multiplicity of phenotypic involvements of functional variants.

@EricTopol @naturemethods @Roesch_E @theosysbio @jgreener64 @nassarhuda @ChrisRackauckas @adamlmaclean @JuliaHubInc It sure is. Faster, more reproducible and more flexible. R in particular has great libraries but that’s it. You wouldn’t want to do something new in R if you don’t rely heavily on legacy libraries (and even then probably better to start from scratch).

[Rita Strack @rita_strack]

Take a moment to learn about Julia (the programming language) if you don't already! I think they make some really compelling points in this piece.

[Huda Nassar @nassarhuda]

So happy to see this paper finally published 😍. It was a great collaboration and kudos to @Roesch_E and @theosysbio for leading it.

Friends in Biology or any Biology-adjacent field, this paper will likely be very interesting to you:

Here we show how #julialang enables new biology

Thanks to @Roesch_E @jgreener64 @adamlmaclean @nassarhuda @ChrisRackauckas Tim Holy, our eagle eyed reviewers & @rita_strack @naturemethods for superb support!
I love a good mountaineering analogy 😎

[Michael P.H. Stumpf @theosysbio]

And this is why @MacsysCoe will base whole cell modelling on #julialang

@wessidepraxis @MadScientistFF Amen.

[Alicia Oshlack @AliciaOshlack]

Excited to announce that we are significantly expanding the computational biology program at @PeterMacRes.

Applications now open for 2 group leader positions! Come and work with me! Please share widely. Closing June 1.

🧵explaining why I won’t be joining institutional #InternationalWomansDay2023 events.
If institutions want to be seen as change makers, invest in that.
I’ll celebrate you when I see data showing equal recognition and 💰spent on women’s work as on men’s. #Academic

Climate change is accelerating the emergence and spread of superbugs, which thrive in warm, wet conditions. @CSIRO @ATSE_au urge governments to tackle antimicrobial resistance before we sleepwalk into a superbug's paradise. @OneHealthAu @ConversationEDU

[Adam MacLean @adamlmaclean]

An excellent Monday morning read. A rallying cry and a reminder that it is a thrilling time to be a theoretical biologist.

[MACSYS-CoE @MacsysCoe]

@HerrGlucksfall Just a little bit longer and we’ll be entering a hiring frenzy.

[MACSYS-CoE @MacsysCoe]

For all intents and purposes we’ve moved into our new digs.

[trevor-lithgow.bsky.social @TrevorLithgow]

It was impressive reviewing the papers from our field to show how far understanding has come for the quantitative aspects of bacterial cell surfaces and the processes by which they are made https://t.co/WAWAQPRCCP @CentreImpactAMR @MacsysCoe @MonashBDI

The director’s blackboard is on the move to the new MACSYS HQ. See you soon.
