Machine learning for organelle selection & feature detection in live cells. This project aims to addresses a roadblock in cell imaging and analysis by creating new mathematical and machine learning techniques for large datasets. Using advanced imaging and these analytic tools this project aims to define newly-discovered macropinosomes - cell structures with seminal roles in immunobiology. Outcomes will include a suite of computational tools that can be applied across bioscience to fully reveal a ....Machine learning for organelle selection & feature detection in live cells. This project aims to addresses a roadblock in cell imaging and analysis by creating new mathematical and machine learning techniques for large datasets. Using advanced imaging and these analytic tools this project aims to define newly-discovered macropinosomes - cell structures with seminal roles in immunobiology. Outcomes will include a suite of computational tools that can be applied across bioscience to fully reveal and quantify information contained within microscopic imaging and high impact knowledge for immunity. Innovative approaches will benefit the nation by capacity building in interdisciplinary technology.Read moreRead less
A role for the actin cytoskeleton in suppression of prion pathology in yeast. The discovery that proteins as well as DNA carry genetic information is leading to a re-think of the mechanisms that program cell behaviour. There is a link between proteins that suppress cancer and protein inheritance. This project explores how heritable changes in proteins control cell behaviour and the implications of this for the origin of cancer.
