Researchers are on a quest to develop enzymes that can break down plastics so they can be 100% recycled The world produces about 400 million tonnes of plastic waste each year. Much of it ends up in landfills, and a significant portion is polluting the world’s oceans. Yet even when plastic is recycled, the process…
With the help of AlphaFold, researchers are designing more effective drugs like never before Karen Akinsanya is President of R&D, Therapeutics, at Schrödinger in New York City. She shares her AlphaFold story. What has always captivated me is the idea that you can go from the bench to the bedside. I have worked in academia…
Open sourcing over 200 million protein structures to help researchers solve countless problems Big data in biology leads to discoveries that can benefit humankind. That’s the core belief at EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and what its scientists have proven to be true ever since its founding at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, UK,…
New insights into how immunity evolves could help scientists protect all the world’s flora and fauna from disease Vilde Leipart is a researcher at Norwegian University of Life Sciences in Ås. She shares her AlphaFold story. I feel strongly about the need to protect honeybees. Honeybees are so integral to our culture and to our…
Looking hundreds of millions of years into a protein’s past with AlphaFold to learn about the beginnings of life itself Pedro Beltrao is a geneticist at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. He shares his AlphaFold story. As a scientist, I’m interested in our differences. More specifically, I’m interested in how those differences occur. While there are…
