Researcher

Michal Zielinski

Michal Zielinski co-authored the Nature papers on AlphaFold 2 and AlphaFold 3, AI systems that predict protein and biomolecular structures. In 2021 he helped develop the data, analytics and inference systems for AlphaFold 2, and he co-authored a Nature study that applied the system to the human proteome. The AlphaFold 3 paper, published in May 2024, describes a model that predicts the joint structure of complexes including proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules. He also co-authored a November 2024 addendum to that paper. His most recent known affiliation is Google DeepMind, shown on the 2024 AlphaFold 3 paper.
