Listen "Episode 40: AI Is Helping Scientists Understand The Nature of Life Itself"
Episode Synopsis
Professor Gabriel Cavalli studies the ways in which AI tools have enhanced understanding of the protein-folding problem at the heart of what constitutes life itself. Specifically, he has studied how the Nobel Prize winning modelers at Google Deep Mind won the CASP competition in 2018 and 2020, and the implications of this achievement for the organization of academic laboratories dedicated to the development of new medicines and of insights about the nature of life-giving processes. In this far-reaching conversation, he talks with Anita about his optimism that humans can use AI tools to address fundamental questions that can improve human health and well-being.
