| 10 Aug 2024 | Using AI To Solve Biology Problems in Minutes Featuring Google DeepMind’s John Jumper | 01:00:01 | |
In this episode of TNQ Sciences, Dr John Jumper, a recipient of the Breakthrough Prize, talks about his work on AlphaFold, the AI tool which predicts the three-dimensional structure of proteins. As the project lead, Dr Jumper discusses the intricacies and difficulties in predicting accurate protein structures and how biology as a science is perfectly suited to using the tools of AI to find solutions to such complex questions, which usually take years, in a couple of minutes. Dr. Jumper also breaks down the difference between machine learning and deep learning and how these powerful tools of AI will change the future of science and discovery.
Joining him in conversation is Ramaseshan Ramachandran, well-known science journalist and former science correspondent for The Hindu newspaper and Frontline Magazine.

| 10 Apr 2024 | How We Sense Pain? Featuring Nobel laureate Professor David Julius | 00:56:44 | |
In this episode of TNQ Sciences, Professor David Julius, a physiologist and Nobel Prize laureate, talks about his work on molecular mechanisms for pain sensation and heat including the characterization of the TRP-V1 and TRP-M8 receptors that detect capsaicin, menthol, and temperature. We get to know why birds don’t respond to capsaicin, thresholds for TRP receptors and whether they're affected by regional or racial differences, and his seminal contribution of the neural and molecular basis for the sense of temperature and pain.
Joining him in conversation is Ramaseshan Ramachandran, well-known science journalist and former science correspondent for The Hindu newspaper and Frontline Magazine.
