#24 - AlphaFold: AI’s Biggest Breakthrough — with Dr Jennifer Fleming, Coordinator, Protein Data Bank in Europe (AIBIO-UK Mini-Series)

09 Oct 2025

Description

In this episode, Kieren and Riku unpack AlphaFold, widely hailed as one of AI’s biggest breakthroughs. We demystify the staggeringly hard problem of predicting how proteins fold into the 3D shapes that determine function, a task that once took years of experiments. We explain how DeepMind’s AlphaFold2 changed the game, and what that really means (and doesn’t). With Dr Jennifer Fleming — Coordinator of the Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe) and AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (AFDB) lead — we explore how 200+ million predicted structures are accelerating drug design, vaccine research and climate solutions.
