Standing on the Shoulders of Giants This week, two researchers connected to Menten AI's journey have been awarded Nobel Prizes—one in Chemistry and the other in Physics. Prof. David Baker, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was a mentor to Menten AI's co-founder Vikram K. Mulligan. Vikram spent six years in Prof. Baker's lab at the Institute for Protein Design, University of Washington, laying the foundation for expanding beyond nature's 20 canonical amino acids to design peptide macrocycles with unnatural building blocks. This work is at the core of what Menten AI does. Meanwhile, Prof. Geoffrey Hinton, awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, was a professor to the other founder of Menten AI, Hans Melo, at the University of Toronto. Hans was inspired by Prof. Hinton's deep teachings on machine learning, fueling his vision to apply AI to solve humanity's most pressing needs. At Menten AI, Hans and Vikram are building upon this legacy by creating a generative AI platform to design peptide macrocycles capable of targeting diseases beyond the reach of small molecules and biologics. Trained at some of the world's leading institutions, they are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Here's to the giants who have paved the way and to the future they are building together.
