Demis Hassabis

Demis Hassabis is the Nobel Prize-winning co-founder of DeepMind and the leader of the AlphaFold project, which revolutionized structural biology by accurately predicting protein structures at near-experimental accuracy. AlphaFold has transformed cancer drug discovery by enabling rational structure-based design against previously intractable targets. He leads DeepMind's AI for science program which includes drug discovery platform AlphaFold 3 and related tools. His work represents the most significant advance in structural biology in decades and has profound implications for cancer target identification and drug design.
