All engine running.

Absolutely genius.

Get this.

Welcome.

This is the show where we bring you science.

What that potentially means is...

Discovery is the questions.

Research.

Technology.

Unbelievable.

Without further ado, this is the Naked Scientists.

Hello, welcome to this week's Naked Scientists, the program that brings you the biggest breakthroughs in science, technology and medicine.

With me, Chris Smith.

And today, our Titans of Science season, where we talk to some of the major movers and shakers who've helped to shape our scientific universe, continues with the man who helped to crack one of the hardest problems in chemistry and

biology, and that's predicting the shapes of proteins, including the ones that make our bodies

look and work the way that they do. He's the 2024 Chemistry Nobel laureate and by chemist

David Baker. From Cambridge University's Institute of Continuing Education, this is the Naked Scientists.

David Baker was born to two parents who were themselves, both scientists, in Seattle on the 6th of October

1962. He attended Garfield High School in the city before he read biology at Harvard University.

On graduation, he then began working on how proteins are transported around cells. Later,

he would go on to pioneer methods to design proteins and predict their three

dimensional structures, and that helped to earn him a share of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
