Can computers discover new medicines?
BBC Radio 4
Daphne Koller was a precociously clever child. She completed her first degree – a double major in mathematics and computer science – when she was just 17 and went on to become a distinguished Professor at Stanford University in California. But before long she’d given up this comfortable academic position to create the biggest online education platform in the world. In 2018, she founded the drug discovery company Insitro hoping to create a space where data scientists and molecular biologists could work together as equals.
Daphne tells Jim Al-Khalili how a single question from her supervisor nudged her to use her considerable mathematical ability to do something useful and why she believes the time is right for artificial intelligence to discover new medicines.

Advertising agencies, politicians and social networks rely on emotions as a means of manipulation. They use our feelings to try to influence our decisions.
Can we be manipulated without even noticing it? Can our attention and thoughts be directed from outside? Increasingly, it appears that there are mechanisms for playing on emotions to sway our minds - right at the point of decision-making. In fact, this technique has now become a subgenre of psychology.
Some of these recent findings are also being applied in what’s known as "neuromarketing”. Test customers make their purchases while their brain waves are measured and recorded. The method provides information about buying behavior and suggests possibilities for boosting purchases through advertising and presentation.
Indeed, the technical possibilities for manipulation are constantly growing. Neuroscientific methods present many new possibilities, as well as new dangers. Indeed, even more extreme work is being done when it comes to the marketing of films and commercials. Here, market researchers are working with neurologists to test the effectiveness of a commercial in real time.
Political actors have also begun to influence public opinion in this way. China is a pioneer of these sometimes questionable methods. There, social control has long been part of the state mandate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4SIlJE0Qs0&t=25s&ab_channel=DWDocumentary

“Inson va hayvonlar patologik holatlari va kasalliklarining in silico imutasion modellarini ishlab chiqish” - nomli loyihamiz biologiya va biotexnologiya yo'nalishida go'lib deb topildi va Innovatsion rivojlanish vazirligi tomonidan moliyalashtirildi. Ushbu loyiha doirasida Parkinson, Alsgeymer va saraton kasalliklarida muhim ro'l bajaradigan oqsillarni patologiyaga sabab bo'lishini molekulyar darajada tadqiq qilamiz. Kasalliklarga optimal yechim berish uchun tavsiyalar ishlab chiqiladi.
Fizika, biofizika va biokimyo sohasida modellashtirishga qiziqadiganlar diqqatiga! Materialshunoslik institutida fundamental loyihamiz doirasida kompyuterda modellashtirish guruhini tashkil qildik. Modellashtirishni o’rganishni xohlaganlar xodimimiz Akbar Kodirov (@akbar_kodirov) bilan aloqacha chiqsin. 2-3 oy davomida modellashtirish sirlarini o’rganasiz va iqtidorli ishtirokchilar tanlab olinib ilmiy loyihalarda ishlash imkoniyati beriladi. Hozircha kompyuterlarimiz ko’p emas, shuning uchun laptop bilan kelish tavsiya etiladi.

Graphene was found almost by accident, and ever since there have been multiple experiments to see what it is capable of.
Many scientists believed graphene would be the answer to creating all the crazy inventions from sci-fi films.
Let’s see if those scientists were right.

Milliy tadqiqot universitetida yil sarhisobi bo'lib o'tdi. Tadbirda rektor yil mobaynida faol ishlagan kafedra, ustozlar hamda maqola, monografiya va darslik mualliflarini pul miqdoridagi rag‘bat bilan taqdirlanganini e’lon qildi. Scopus va Web of Science Q1/Q2 jurnallarda maqola chop etgan faol olim sifatida taqdirlandim. Bu yil maqolalar soni biroz kamroq bo'ldi nasib keyingi yilda yanayam yuksakroq natijalar ko'rsatishga harakat qilamiz.
Frances Arnold: From taxi driver to Nobel Prize
BBC Radio 4
Nobel Prize-winning chemist Frances Arnold left home at 15 and went to school ‘only when she felt like it’. She disagreed with her parents about the Vietnam War and drove big yellow taxis in Pittsburgh to pay the rent.
Decades later, after several changes of direction (from aerospace engineer to biotech pioneer), she invented a radical new approach to engineering enzymes. Rather than try to design industrial enzymes from scratch (which she considered to be an impossible task), Frances decided to let Nature do the work. ‘I breed enzymes like other people breed cats and dogs’ she says.
While some colleagues accused her of intellectual laziness, industry jumped on her ideas and used them in the manufacture of everything from laundry detergents to pharmaceuticals.
She talks to Jim Al-Khalili about her journey from taxi driver to Nobel Prize, personal tragedy in midlife and why advising the White House is much harder than doing scientific research.

Mening ismim Akbar Maxmanazarov. 1998-yilda tug'ulganman. Hozirda Vengriya davlat hukumati va Tempus Foundation tomonidan tashkil qilingan Stipendium Hungaricum granti dasturi g'olibi sifatida Vengriyaning Szeged shahrida joylashgan "University of Szeged" universitetining magistratura bosqichi "Computer Science" sohasida ingliz tilida tahsil olmoqdaman. Universitet 2022-yil holatiga ko'ra QS xalqaro reytingda 551-560 va Vengriya ichki retingida 1-o'rinni egalaydi. Shu yilning yozida O'zbekiston Milliy universiteti bakalavr bosqichini Fizika sohasida bitirdim. Rossiya federatsiyasi tomonidan tashkil qilingan "Open Doors" xalaqaro olimpiadasida "Engineering and Technology" yo'nalishida sovrindori bo'ldim. Bu g'oliblik Rossiya top universitetlarida magistratura bosqichini bepul va stipendiya bilan taminlangan holatda davom ettirish huquqini berar edi. Rossiyaning yana bir universiteti "Stankin Universiteti" tashkil qilgan xalqaro dasturlash olimpiadasida g'olib bo'ldim. Ammo dasturlashga bo'lgan qiziqishim sababli magistraturani yadro fizikiasi sohasida emas "Computer Science"da yoki "Computational Physics"da davom ettirishga qaror qildim. Bo‘sh vaqtimda sport bilan shug‘ullanishni, ilmiy disskussiya qilishni yaxshi ko‘raman. Men 3D modelinga ham qiziqaman va sun'iy intellektdan foydalanadigan o'z loyiham ustida ishlayapman. Kelajakda AI (su'niy intellekt) sohasida ishlamoqchiman va shu sohada ekspert bo‘lmoqchiman.
Shuni ta'kidlab o'tish kerakki: Dr. Jamoliddin Razzokovninig loyigasida bir yil davomida ishladim va ularninig yoʻl-yoʻriqlari bilan biofizikaviy va biokimyoviy jarayonlarni modellashtirish sohasida oʻz bilimlarimni oshira oldim va u kishining maslahatlari mening shu darajadagi rivojlanishimda asosiy omil bo'ldi deb hisoblayman. (Akbar Maxmanazarov haqiqatda ilmga chanqoq va intiluvchan talabalardan edi. Shunday talabalarimiz ko'payaversin. Ishlariga omad tilayman. J.Razzokov.)
