Aedan McCarthy

I work on biological research questions using lab methods, sequencing, and data analysis, with interests across plant biology, pathogen biology, public health, and science-focused AI.

Things I've worked on

Selected work, notes, and outputs. Some entries are formal projects; others are in-progress writing or research records.

  1. The neglect of agricultural AI-biosecurity

    A post on how AI-enabled biological design could reshape agricultural biosecurity and inter-state conflict.

  2. My honours thesis

    Identifying novel regulators of photosynthesis in plants through molecular biology, plant phenotyping, RNA handling, transcriptomics, and biological data analysis.

  3. A paper for my honours thesis

    A manuscript in progress based on the honours project, currently framed as ongoing work rather than a publication.
