Google’s AI drug discovery (Nobel Prize in Chemistry)

My Insights

  • Google DeepMind wins joint Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the use of AI in predicting protein structures
  • Predicting protein structures using AI has brought significant advance our understanding of proteins
  • Using AI in Biotech industry could innovate and outperform previous research methods
  • AI Bio tech corps such as Recursion Pharms, CRISPR Theerapeutics might have upside potential in near future when AI tech is more closely commertialized

Miscellaneous Thoughts

  • ToolGen, listed in KOSDAQ, is CRISPR CAS9 IP holding company, and undergoing IP law suit
  • CRISPR/Cas9, gene editing tech, won the 2020 Nobel Prize and two female researchers who won the prize founded gene editing tech companies each. (CRISPR Therapeutics, Intellia Therapeutics)
  • CRIDPR/Cas9 tech can cure damaged gene permernantly, so monetizing recurring revenue is questionable
