Demis Hassabis and John Jumper are the developers behind AlphaFold, an algorithmic model that can predict the 3D shape of proteins from their amino acid sequences. The model lets researchers ...

John Jumper (S.M. ’12, Ph.D. ’17) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2024 for his contributions to the development of AlphaFold, an AI model that revolutionized protein structure prediction.

Last month, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper of Google DeepMind were jointly awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their development of AlphaFold 3. This AI model can more accurately predict ...

The surprise announcement comes just weeks after the system’s creators, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper, were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on protein structure prediction.

Jumper, who joined DeepMind in 2017, is the youngest Nobel laureate in Chemistry in over 70 years. He chatted with Forbes about winning the award, the AI landscape, and building AlphaFold.

Now there’s a sequel: AlphaFold 3, released in May, predicts how proteins interact with DNA and other molecules. “AlphaFold 2 was a story about proteins,” Jumper says.

The term ‘artificial intelligence’ was coined in 1955, when the original ‘fathers of AI,’ Marvin Minsky, Claude Shannon and John McCarthy, convened the Dartmouth Conference in 1956.

The culmination of DeepMind’s effort came on October 2, 2024, when Hassabis and Jumper were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on AlphaFold, cementing the program’s status as ...

In 2017, computer scientist John Jumper joined DeepMind as a research scientist who led the development of AlphaFold. Jumper’s background in computational biology made him uniquely qualified to ...
