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.

MACSYS has launched! www.arc.gov.au/news-publica...

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.

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria blocks many antibiotics. Our latest work reveals that L-type pyocins bypass this barrier by inactivating the BAM complex, killing Pseudomonas aeruginosa without entering the cell, providing a new blueprint for beating antibiotic resistance.
