Renee Green

Renee is an Honours student in the Edwards lab, working in structural and computational biology. With earlier degrees in Medical Science (Molecular Medicine) and Visual Design, she brings an interdisciplinary perspective to protein structure, function, and visualisation.

Her Honours research develops methods to predict complete bacteriophage structures in silico from genomic data alone, integrating structural biology and bioinformatics to infer structures without experimental input — including approaches that apply conserved principles of symmetry to model large, complex assemblies.

She aims to extend this thinking through a PhD, advancing and validating these computational structural biology approaches and applying the modelling pipelines to other molecular systems across the body and microbiome, in support of experimental baselines and ongoing challenges in biology and medicine.
