In the United Kingdom, scientists have used artificial intelligence to predict the 3D structures of more than 200 million proteins, transforming biological research worldwide.
“AlphaFold has revolutionised how we understand life itself, turning decades of lab work into instant insight,” said Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind.
Freely accessible to researchers in over 190 countries, the AlphaFold database has accelerated drug discovery, disease research and conservation, saving scientists years of work and earning the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The innovation marks a turning point for digital biology, proving how AI can power faster, more inclusive scientific progress.
