The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper for their work with proteins.

Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper were part of a Google DeepMind team whose A.I. technology predicts the shape of proteins. David Baker designed “a new protein that was unlike any other,” the committee said.

U.S. scientists David Baker and John Jumper and Briton Demis Hassabis won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for work on decoding the structure of proteins and creating new ones, yielding advances in areas such as drug development.
