David Baker is a pioneering American biochemist and computational biologist at the University of Washington. As the director of the Institute for Protein Design, he has transformed how scientists understand and create proteins—from decoding natural structures to designing entirely new ones. He led the development of Rosetta@home and Foldit, innovative platforms that engaged the public in protein folding research. In 2024, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his groundbreaking work in protein design, which opened new paths for medicine, materials science, and climate solutions.
