Greg Bowman

Vijay Pande, a general partner at a16z and Folding@Home founder, teams up with Greg Bowman, an associate professor and current director of the project. They delve into how Folding@Home utilizes distributed computing to tackle protein dynamics and advance drug design, particularly in the context of COVID-19. The duo discusses the project's impressive growth over 20 years and how millions of volunteers have created the world's largest supercomputer. They also explore the technological breakthroughs that have revolutionized protein folding simulations.
