Jacob Amy is a molecular biologist working in the MACSYS Monash node. His research integrates microbiology and molecular biology to develop a unified growth and sampling strategy for microbial multi-omics.

In MACSYS, Jacob draws on his experience in microbiology and genomics to develop scalable methods of delivering high-quality samples suitable for transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics that enable mathematical modelling and inference. His previous work focused on the characterisation of mobile genetic elements in anaerobic bacteria, as well as specialising in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics projects within Monash University’s genomics platform.
