I am thrilled that we are amplifying our Latin American Fellow's program with CZI! Excited for this partnership!
In partnership with @Pewtrusts, we are supporting the Latin American Fellows program, which helps early-career biomedical scientists receive postdoctoral training the resources they need to start a lab in their home country czi.co/3Z5gPhV

This year’s chemistry laureates Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model, AlphaFold2, to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures.
Check out two examples of protein structures determined using AlphaFold2. First up, a bacterial enzyme that causes antibiotic resistance. The structure is important for discovering ways of preventing antibiotic resistance.
