This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to three scientists, David Baker, John Jumper, and

Demis Hasabis for their groundbreaking work using artificial intelligence to advance biomedical

and protein research.

The AI model they developed, called Alpha Fold,

uses databases with hundreds of thousands of protein structures

and millions of protein sequences

to predict and even design protein structures. and

even design protein structures,

speeding up a months or years long process

to mere hours or even minutes.

Alphafold was rolled out just four years ago and has since been cited in scientific studies

more than 20,000 times.

Joining us now from London is Demis Hasabas, co-founder and CEO of Google Deepmind and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Demis, congratulations and welcome.

Thanks so much.

Great to be here.

So first and foremost, what did you think when you heard the news?

Well I was totally stunned to be honest and it still hasn't really sunk in even now

24 hours later so it's just feels very surreal. So I'm going to try

here in simplest terms which is not simple at all but to condense the work you

and your colleagues have done. Basically you and your colleague John Jumper discovered

new and powerful ways to not only decode but also design proteins using artificial
