Episode notes
Protein Structure PhD
- Max Jaderberg's friend spent his PhD studying protein structures experimentally.
- AlphaFold, an AI, now predicts protein structures, saving vast research time.
AI Analogs
- AI analogs recreate real-world elements with neural networks, enabling large-scale experimentation.
- This allows for in silico discoveries, generating new knowledge to impact the real world.
Drug Design Challenges and AI
- Drug design is becoming harder because past empirical methods addressed easier targets.
- AI and Moore's/Jensen's law offer potential solutions by leveraging increased computing power.
