UW professor wins prestigious Nobel Prize in chemistry for work on proteins
Показать описание
University of Washington professor and researcher David Baker has been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry, one of the most prestigious awards in the world.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded one-half of the award to Baker "for computational protein design." The other half was given jointly to two UK-based scientists.
The three scientists discovered powerful techniques to predict and even design novel proteins — the building blocks of life. Their work used advanced technologies, including machine learning, and holds the potential to transform how new drugs are made.
Baker gets half of the prize money of 11 million Swedish Kronor ($1.06 million) while Hassabis and Jumper share the other half.
Baker attended Harvard for his undergraduate degree and earned a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley in 1989.
