Team NeSI gathers together



In November, the entire NeSI team gathered from around the country for a two-day retreat at beautiful Karioitahi Beach, south of Auckland.

NeSI is a national organisation, and with staff members based all around New Zealand, including Lincoln, Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland, this annual event is a great opportunity for our team members to reflect on the past year, develop plans and talk about strategy for the coming year, run workshops, meet with the NeSI Board, and even have a bit of fun!

Case study: New frontiers for milk proteins



“Our ongoing use of NeSI has allowed us to investigate the process of adsorption of b-Lactoglobulin at different oil/water interfaces, and so determine the physico-chemical forces that govern adsorption behaviour.”

NeSI's high performance computing resources enabled Davoud Zare of Victoria University of Wellington, supervised by Prof. Kate McGrath (MacDiarmid Institute/Riddet Institute/Victoria University) and Dr Jane Allison (Massey University), to use atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to characterise the adsorption of milk protein at three different oil/water interfaces.
