Thrilled to announce our first major breakthrough in applying AI to a grand challenge in science. #AlphaFold has been validated as a solution to the ‘protein folding problem’ & we hope it will have a big impact on disease understanding and drug discovery: deepmind.com/alphafold-blog
The ultimate vision behind @DeepMind has always been to build AI and then use it to help further our knowledge about the world around us by accelerating the pace of scientific discovery. For us #AlphaFold represents an exciting first proof point of that thesis.
Congratulations to the whole #AlphaFold team! And thanks to John Moult and the fantastic CASP organisers and community for championing this critical problem and creating such an amazing benchmark - it really is the gold standard for scientific assessment. #CASP14
