  • Resumen

  • We’re pulling back the curtain on scientific discovery, taking you beyond the data and into the heart of what drives innovation today. Hosted by Professor David Baker, The Baker Lab Podcast invites you to hear from real people at the forefront of biology, chemistry, physics, and AI. Their personal journeys, challenges, and triumphs reveal that there are many ways of becoming and being a scientist. From moments of doubt to breakthroughs that change everything, these stories prove that great science isn’t just about what you find—it’s about who you become along the way.

    Protein design pioneer David Baker has trained hundreds of scientists, published over 650 research papers, and launched more than 20 biotech companies. The Baker Lab at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle has become a hub for groundbreaking ideas and world-changing discoveries. Now, through this podcast, he’s turning the spotlight onto the people who make it all happen. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to push the boundaries of knowledge, The Baker Lab Podcast is your front-row seat to the human side of science.

  • 5: Exploring Molecular Frontiers - Alexis Courbet
    Mar 12 2025

    Centuries ago, explorers set sail across vast oceans. Today, scientists like Alexis Courbet are navigating uncharted waters at the nanoscale. As a researcher at the Institute for Protein Design, Alexis is building molecular machines unlike any seen before—creating nanoscale sensors and protein-based rotors that move with atomic precision. Whether designing molecules or mapping out his next mountaineering adventure with David Baker, he approaches every frontier with the same curiosity and drive to understand the unknown. // This podcast was produced at the Institute for Protein Design at the University of Washington School of Medicine by Ian Haydon, Roni Weissman, Enisha Sehgal, Nora McNamara-Bordewick, Riti Biswas, Joe Min, and Nathan Forest Greenwood. // Music by Kevin MacLeod.

  • 4: Inside the Nobel Prize - Ian Haydon
    Feb 6 2025

    Winning a Nobel Prize is a rare and extraordinary achievement—but what happens behind the scenes? In this episode, David Baker takes us inside his journey to Stockholm, from preparing his Nobel lecture to delivering it on science’s biggest stage. Hear clips from practice talks, reflections from trainees who were there, and David’s thoughts on what the prize really means. But that’s only half the story. The second half of this episode follows a different kind of journey—one from the lab bench to the world of science communication. Podcast co-host Ian Haydon shares how he went from being a student in David’s lab to leading science communications at the Institute for Protein Design. What drives someone to step away from research and focus on sharing science with the world? And why does it matter? Join us for an episode about the people who power science, the impact of storytelling, and what it’s like to experience a Nobel moment up close. // This podcast was produced by the Institute for Protein Design at the University of Washington School of Medicine. // Music by Kevin MacLeod and Jon Woods.

  • 3: Cures and Community - Jeremiah Sims
    Dec 7 2024

    Jeremiah Sims is trying to stop the next pandemic. As an MD/PhD trainee with a deep passion for public health, his research with David Baker focuses on outsmarting viruses. But there's more to Jeremy than lab work. When he's not creating new antivirals, he's making music and building up Black communities. In this episode, hear how Jeremy faced down racism in school, found his path into medical research, and enriched his life—and the lives of others—both inside and outside the lab. // Produced by the Institute for Protein Design at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Music by Kevin MacLeod and Jeremiah Sims.
