Google DeepMind Disbands AlphaFold Team to Focus on Gemini AI Projects
Google DeepMind has disbanded the dedicated AlphaFold team, known for its Nobel Prize-winning AI that advanced protein structure prediction. Researchers have been reassigned to projects centered on Google's Gemini large language model and other scientific areas like enzyme design and genomics. Despite the team’s dissolution, the AlphaFold system and its protein database remain accessible to researchers. This shift reflects DeepMind’s strategic move from specialized teams toward developing general-purpose AI systems for broader scientific applications.
