In this episode of TNQ Sciences, Dr John Jumper, a recipient of the Breakthrough Prize, talks about his work on AlphaFold, the AI tool which predicts the three-dimensional structure of proteins. As the project lead, Dr Jumper discusses the intricacies and difficulties in predicting accurate protein structures and how biology as a science is perfectly suited to using the tools of AI to find solutions to such complex questions, which usually take years, in a couple of minutes. Dr. Jumper also breaks down the difference between machine learning and deep learning and how these powerful tools of AI will change the future of science and discovery. 

 

Joining him in conversation is Ramaseshan Ramachandran, well-known science journalist and former science correspondent for The Hindu newspaper and Frontline Magazine.
