American computational biologist (born 1985)
John Michael Jumper (born 1985)[ 1] Google DeepMind .[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] AlphaFold ,[ 5] artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict protein structures from their amino acid sequence with high accuracy.[ 6] [ 7]
The scientific journal Nature Nature ' s 10[ 6] [ 8] Demis Hassabis were awarded with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for protein structure prediction.[ 9] [ 10]
Education
Jumper received a Bachelor of Science with majors in physics and mathematics from Vanderbilt University in 2007,[ 11] Master of Philosophy in theoretical condensed matter physics from the University of Cambridge in 2010 on a Marshall Scholarship ,[ 12] Master of Science in theoretical chemistry from the University of Chicago in 2012, and a Doctor of Philosophy in theoretical chemistry from the University of Chicago in 2017.[ 13] Karl Freed .[ 14]
Career
Jumper's research investigates algorithms for protein structure prediction .[ 2]
AlphaFold
This image represents the final product of AlphaFold and it compares its results with other competitors at the CASP competition. AlphaFold[ 5] [ 15] deep learning algorithm developed by Jumper and his team at DeepMind, a research lab acquired by Google's parent company Alphabet Inc . It is an artificial intelligence program which performs predictions of protein structure .[ 16]
Awards and honors
In November 2020, AlphaFold was named the winner of the 14th Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) competition.[ 17] [ 18] [ 19] global distance test (GDT), a test that measures the degree to which a computational program predicted structure is similar to the lab experiment determined structure, with 100 being a complete match, within the distance cutoff used for calculating GDT.[ 20] [ 21]
In 2021, Jumper was awarded the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the category "Biology and Biomedicine".[ 22] Wiley Prize in Biomedical Sciences[ 23] Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences for developing AlphaFold, which accurately predicts the structure of a protein.[ 24] Canada Gairdner International Award [ 25] Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research .[ 26]
Jumper at 2024 Nobel Week press conference In 2024, Jumper and Demis Hassabis shared half of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their protein folding predictions, the other half went to David Baker for computational protein design .[ 9] [ 10]
