David Baker, a computational biologist and a professor at the University of Washington, accepted his Nobel Prize in chemistry Tuesday in Sweden.
Baker and two other scientists — Demis Hassabis and John Jumper of Google DeepMind, an artificial intelligence research laboratory based in London — were awarded the prize in October.
They discovered powerful techniques to decode and even design novel proteins — the building blocks of life — using advanced technologies including artificial intelligence. Their work holds the potential to transform how new drugs and other materials are made.
