In December 2019, DeepMind’s AI system, AlphaFold, solved a 50-year-old grand challenge in biology, known as the protein-folding problem. A headline in the journal Nature read, “It will change everything” and the President of the UK's Royal Society called it a “stunning advance [that arrived] decades before many in the field would have predicted”.
This breakthrough AI model inspired the founding of Isomorphic Labs to apply cutting-edge AI to reimagine the entire drug discovery process.
