In this episode, we continue our discussion with Dr. Samuel David Perli, a leading expert in Synthetic Biology. We dive deeper into the intertwining of Synthetic Biology and AI, exploring the possibilities these breakthrough technologies can unleash. We spotlight Alpha Fold, the AI-centric protein prediction method by Google's DeepMind. Dr. Perli decodes this game-changing innovation, explaining its profound impact on Synthetic Biology and beyond. From drug discovery to biofuel production, join us as we uncover how AI is catalyzing a revolution in Synthetic Biology. Guest: Dr. Samuel David Perli (https://www.samperli.com/) Hosts:
