Senior research scientist John Jumper said on Friday he would leave Google DeepMind to join AI startup Anthropic, thelatest high-profile departureat the Big Tech giant's AI research and development division.
Jumper, who won a Nobel prize alongside Google'sDemis Hassabisin 2024, is best known as the co-creator of AlphaFold, a breakthrough AI that has predicted over 200 million protein structures, cutting years off biological and medical research.
"After nearly nine years, I have decided to leave Google DeepMind and join Anthropic," Jumper said in a post on X.
Technology giants includingMetaandAlphabet, along with AI upstarts such as Anthropic and OpenAI are locked in a fierce talent war, competing for elite researchers as they race to build next-generation AI systems.
Jumper's surprise departure comes just days after Noam Shazeer, a vice president of engineering at Google and co-lead of its Gemini AI models, said he would leave the company to join IPO-bound OpenAI.

John Jumper, the researcher who led the AlphaFold project that essentially solved a 50-year-old problem in biology, is leaving Google DeepMind to join Anthropic. It’s the kind of hire that reshapes how the industry thinks about where the best minds in AI want to be.
Jumper shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis for their work on protein structure prediction. Winning a Nobel and then immediately switching employers is, to put it mildly, a strong signal about where someone sees the future heading.
From protein folding to frontier AI
Jumper had been at Google DeepMind since 2017, rising through the ranks from director-level positions to VP and Engineering Fellow. His primary claim to fame is AlphaFold, the AI system that can predict the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino ac…

The battle for elite AI talent just claimed another major name.
John Jumper, the Nobel Prize-winning researcher behind AlphaFold, announced Friday that he is leaving Google DeepMind after nearly nine years to join AI startup Anthropic. His departure marks one of the most significant talent moves in artificial intelligence this year and comes at a time when leading AI companies are competing fiercely for the scientists shaping the next generation of AI systems.
Jumper, who shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, helped lead the development of AlphaFold, the groundbreaking AI system that predicted the structure of more than 200 million proteins. The achievement transformed biological research by giving scientists a powerful new tool for studying diseases, drug discovery, and the fundamental building blocks of life.
