85% Informative

The 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry recognized Demis Hassabis , John Jumper and David Baker for using machine learning to tackle one of biology's biggest challenges: predicting the 3D shape of proteins and designing them from scratch.

This year 's award stood out because it honored research that originated at a tech company: DeepMind, an AI startup that was acquired by Google in 2014 .

The winners of the 2024 prize have opened up new possibilities in drug discovery, personalized medicine and even our understanding of the chemistry of life itself.

By predicting the shape of a protein, scientists can figure out where small molecules might bind to it, which is the first step in designing new medicines.

Google bought DeepMind for reportedly around half a billion dollars in 2014 .
