So richly deserved @demishassabis, John Jumper and David Baker - an extraordinary leap, leveraging the (some itself Nobel prize winning) work of many over decades... to fastforward our understanding of biology and ability to innovate across so many applications to improve health
BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”View quoted post on X
