American AI researcher who led the development of AlphaFold2 at DeepMind — solving the 50-year protein folding problem — and who shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Demis Hassabis and David Baker for this achievement.

Led the technical development of AlphaFold2 — the AI system that solved the protein structure prediction problem — which predicted the 3D structure of virtually all known proteins (200 million+) and accelerated drug discovery across the biomedical field.
