DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis and John Jumper scoop Nobel Prize in Chemistry for AlphaFold
It has been a big week for Nobel Prizes in the world of artificial intelligence. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences today announced the Nobel Prize in Chemistry winners for 2024, with DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and Director John Jumper sharing one-half of the prize,
Then, in late 2020, a team from Google DeepMind, led by John Jumper, then a senior research scientist at the organization, cracked it using a machine learning algorithm they called AlphaFold 2.
John Jumper and his AlphaFold team at DeepMind built an algorithm that could predict the 3D shape of proteins. Now researchers can start using it to explore cures for rare diseases.
