What is AI doing to medicine? Specifically, in molecular biology, and protein folding: figuring out the 3-D structure of proteins. Remember DeepMind's AlphaFold and the announcement of it predicting 200 million protein structures?
I'm talking with one of the top researchers in the world, Professor Mohammed AlQuraishi of Columbia University’s Department of Systems Biology, and a member of their Program for Mathematical Genomics. He heads a lab focused on biological perspectives at the molecular and systems levels. He has an MS in statistics and a PhD in genetics from Stanford University and was a Departmental Fellow at Harvard Medical School.
We conclude by talking about how the advent of AlphaFold landed in the protein folding community; how AI is about to transform molecular biology and scientific experimentation; the possibility of simulating a cell; OpenFold, Mohammed’s answer to the closed source parts of AlphaFold; and his vision for the next 10 years of the field.
All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines!
