SAiGENCI announce first ARC Future Fellow
SAiGENCI congratulate Professor Lan Nguyen awarded funding through the Australian Research Council's (ARC) 2025 Future Fellowships scheme.
Professor Lan Nguyen
Professor Nugyen is Program Lead for the Computational Systems Oncology program at SAiGENCI.
He has been awarded $1,286,791 to support his project "Deciphering contextual multi-pathway crosstalk in cellular decision making".
This project aims to unravel how cells make decisions by decoding their complex internal communication networks. Like assembling puzzle pieces to form a complete picture, this project will determine how different signalling routes in cells fit together and also how this assembled network functions in different cell types. The project will also develop new methods to map these intricate networks across various cellular contexts and simulate them using computers. The benefit will be new knowledge of how cells process multiple signals to make decisions and new tools enabling more accurate prediction of cell behaviour. These advances will drive innovation in biotechnology, from enhancing biofuel production to developing more resilient crops.
