AI and computational protein design are transforming how vaccines are developed. We're proud to have backed longtime grantees Neil King and recent Nobel laureate David Baker in creating more effective vaccines through early, catalytic funding: openphilanthropy.org/research/how-n…
Did you know David Baker just launched a podcast? The first episode features trainee @Mohamad_Abedi. Born a Palestinian refugee, Mohamad never dreamed he’d grow up to become the scientist he is today. Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the… Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/32pWWpKzO…
As researchers, innovators, and communities worldwide celebrate this remarkable achievement, we look forward to the groundbreaking discoveries and life-changing solutions that still lie ahead—solutions made possible by the visionary work that has earned David Baker a Nobel Prize.
Proteins are life’s most important molecules. And in the words of the Nobel committee, Baker “has succeeded with the almost impossible feat of building entirely new kinds of proteins.” ipd.uw.edu/2024/10/david-…
“I love all the proteins so I don’t want to pick favourites." New chemistry laureate, David Baker, spoke about the technology he developed that creates protein structures at the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry press conference today. Watch in full: bit.ly/4eBoGJp
We recently spent a day in the lab with 2024 @NobelPrize winner and HHMI Investigator David Baker, where he discussed his groundbreaking work, the importance of basic science, and his passion for mentorship #NobelPrize
Congratulations to HHMI Investigator David Baker who has won the 2024 @NobelPrize in Chemistry for his work on computational protein design! He shares the prize with Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper for protein structure prediction. #NobelPrize hhmi.org/hhmi-david-bak…
