Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists Stephen Burley and Sagar Khare are available to speak to the press and provide background on the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 awarded to David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”
Stephen Burley, a University Professor and Henry Rutgers Chair, is a renowned structural biologist, physician and data scientist. He directs the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank, the Rutgers-based U.S. data center for a global archive of 3D structure data for proteins and DNA and RNA sequences. Burley also heads the Institute for Quantitative Biomedicine, which provides analytical tools for biomedical research.
Sagar Khare is a Professor in the Rutgers School of Arts and Science’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. His research is in the area of computational design of novel proteins – in particular enzymes, with applications in bioremediation and synthetic biology. He also was involved in developing tools for design as a postdoctoral fellow in David Baker’s lab.
