Lexington AI Meetup - July 10th, 2025

Hi friends - Logan here. Hope you all have plans to enjoy some hot dogs by a body of water while you watch things explode this weekend 🇺🇸🎆

Before you check out for your Fourth of July festivities, I wanted to hit your inbox with an invite to July’s AI Meetup, coming up next Thursday, the 10th. 

We’re going to joined by Steve Crossan, who led the product team responsible for putting DeepMind’s technology into Google, and was a founding member of their AlphaFold team. In addition to his work at DeepMind, Steve spent several years at Google working on Google Maps, Gmail, and Google Search.

AlphaFold, the AI from DeepMind, can predict a protein’s 3D shape using just its amino acid sequence - something that used to take labs months or even years in the past. Its newest version, AlphaFold 3, not only maps proteins but also reveals how they interact with DNA, RNA, drugs, and antibodies, dramatically sharpening its utility for drug design and molecular engineering.

Looking ahead, this technology could revolutionize everything from precision medicine and custom enzyme creation to sustainable biotech solutions and smarter agriculture - basically giving scientists a molecular Swiss Army knife for the future.

It’s rare that we have minds like this in Lexington, KY that are willing to spend time with us - for free. Don’t miss this one!
