2024 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, David Baker shares how custom-built proteins could tackle pandemics, clean up pollution, and unlock the next generation of molecular machines.
We explore how AI is accelerating protein design, why biology may hold the key to nanotech, and what it takes to run a lab that consistently pushes science forward.
“The proteins we design today might solve problems evolution never needed to solve.”
