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. Potential AI-biosecurity risks in agriculture

    A draft note on how AI-enabled biological capabilities could interact with agricultural biosecurity risks.

  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.
