29. Alex Stark - The Evolution of Computational Genomics and Protein Structure Analysis

29. Alex Stark - The Evolution of Computational Genomics and Protein Structure Analysis

Alex Stark (EMBL Predoctoral Fellow 2001-2005) chats with Thomas Vaccari (EMBL Predoctoral Fellow 1999-2004). Alex describes the evolution of computational biology and its impact on understanding protein structures and gene regulation. He recounts early efforts to identify functional similarities between unrelated proteins before the advent of AlphaFold and serving as a member of one of the teams of judges for the CASP competition.

This conversation was recorded in January 2026.
