STOCKHOLM, Oct 9 (Reuters) - 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.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper who discovered powerful techniques to predict and even design novel proteins — the building blocks of life.

University of Chicago alum John Jumper was awarded a share of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Oct. 9 for developing an AI model that predicts the complex folded structures of proteins.

David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper shared the Nobel prize in chemistry for work that revolutionized our understanding of protein structure.

The Nobel Prize-winner explains how his ideas about protein design moved from the “lunatic fringe” to the mainstream.

Three scientists who discovered powerful techniques to predict and even design novel proteins — the building blocks of life — were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday. Their work used advanced technologies,

John Jumper, who received his master's degree and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, shared the prize with Dennis Hassabis — who works with Jumper at Google DeepMind — and David Baker, who works at the University of Washington in Seattle.

University of Washington biochemist David Baker has won a share of this year's Nobel Prize in chemistry for deciphering protein structures.

Google suddenly finds itself with two Nobel laureates on its staff. On Wednesday, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that Demis Hassabis and John Jumper are recipients of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
