Google dissolves Nobel Prize-winning AI 'AlphaFold' development team, shifts to a 'Gemini'-centric structure

Google DeepMind has restructured the core AlphaFold team and is shifting focus toward Gemini-based scientific support and automation.

Several key researchers moved to other internal teams or Isomorphic Labs, while some chose to leave for Anthropic.

The change marks a move away from the AlphaFold-centric organization behind a Nobel-winning breakthrough.

It highlights how AI priorities and talent competition are evolving across frontier labs and life sciences.
