In this GEN interview, he emphasizes that designing new proteins from scratch is now a reality. Whether AI transforms medicine will require improving our understanding of biology's complexity

Structural phylogenetics is poised to reshape our understanding of molecular evolution. While the availability of structural data has exploded, its integration into evolutionary analysis has yet to reach its full potential. This meeting provides a timely forum to explore this frontier.
