Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper

The Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2024 was shared by David Baker “for computational protein design” along with Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on Wednesday.

Last year, the chemistry prize was awarded to a trio of scientists for their research on quantum dots, which are minuscule particles measuring only a few nanometers in diameter.
