FIAS congratulates this year's Nobel Prize winners in Physics and Chemistry, whose work is directly related to research at FIAS. The fundamental findings of John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton on artificial neural networks, together with the massive progress in computing, have laid the foundation for today's AI revolution.

The work of Demis Hassabis and John Jumper uses such neural networks to predict the structure of almost all known proteins, and David Baker uses AI to create completely new proteins. 

Artificial intelligence methods are playing an increasingly important role at FIAS. For example, it helps scientists at FIAS to better understand highly complex processes in cells, such as the molecular mechanisms of diseases. FIAS is also researching AI systems that even mimic the learning processes in the brains of small children.
