The Human Protein Atlas, one of the world’s largest biological databases, gives us a more profound understanding of protein expression in different cell types and is a great starting point for new groundbreaking research.

According to Professor Matthias Christandl, Leader of the Quantum for Life Centre in Copenhagen, the potential of quantum computing within life sciences is enormous and in order to take the lead, investments in both quantum hardware and software is essential.

The applications of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPRs) have multiplied since it was first discovered more than 30 years ago – and researchers see no end to the possibilities. 

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 recognizes both computational protein design and protein structure prediction.

David Baker, born in Seattle in 1962, is an American professor of biochemistry and computational biology at the University of Washington, Seattle, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He has received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering research methods in protein design, and NLS asked him about his career, being a scientist, and of course, a lot about proteins.
