“The Nobel Laureates' findings form the basis of our understanding of how proteins work, and it gives us a more detailed picture of how the different components of proteins affect their three-dimensional appearance. When we plan to create new properties of a protein, we can record the changes in the AI programme. This way, the technology generates a three-dimensional model of the new protein,” says Sophia Hober, KTH professor of molecular biotechnology and co-founder of the Human Protein Atlas.

Johan von Schreeb in field hospital
Johan von Schreeb, who receives the KTH Great Prize 2024, here temporarily at work in Italy to approve WHO classification for field hospitals. “The standard classification for medical operations is used in war-torn Ukraine and Gaza, and now also in Lebanon, where I am heading next for deployment. This is partly to provide emergency care to war wounded and partly to save lives by providing basic health care to the civilian population,” he says.
