# John Jumper ![[50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/2026-05-04 John Jumper.jpg|400]] Senior research scientist at [[Google DeepMind]] and the research lead on [[AlphaFold]]. Shared the **2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry** with [[Demis Hassabis]] (for AlphaFold) and David Baker (for computational protein design). PhD in theoretical chemistry from the University of Chicago before joining DeepMind, where he has driven AlphaFold 2 (the CASP14 breakthrough) and AlphaFold 3 (extending the approach to protein-ligand and protein-nucleic-acid complexes). One of the younger Nobel laureates in chemistry in recent decades, and a central figure in the AI-for-science turn. ## Quotes <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/quote AND [[John Jumper]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> ## Books <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/book AND [[John Jumper]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> ## References - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jumper - Nobel Prize 2024 (Chemistry): https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/2024/ - Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=i-ZpmzgAAAAJ ## Related - [[AlphaFold]] - [[Demis Hassabis]] - [[Google DeepMind]] - [[Artificial Intelligence (AI)]]
