Raphaël is the founder and CEO of Atomic AI (we are hiring!), an artificial intelligence-driven startup developing the cutting-edge fusion of machine learning and structural biology to unlock RNA drug discovery. He studied his PhD in the Stanford AI Lab, and his areas of focus include machine learning, RNA and structural biology, high performance computing, and computer vision. More broadly, he is interested in connecting the worlds of biology and computation in novel ways.
PhD in Computer Science, 2014-2020
Stanford University
BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2010-2014
University of California, Berkeley
RNA molecules fold into complex three-dimensional shapes that are difficult to determine experimentally or predict computationally. We introduce a deep-learning method that significantly improves prediction of 3D RNA structures. Understanding these structures may aid in the discovery of drugs for currently untreatable diseases.
We build a “dataset of datasets” to help explore the possibilities of three-dimensional molecular learning.

We investigate the role of GPCR phosphorylation in modulating arrestin binding and conformation, revealing the structural basis for the long-standing “barcode” hypothesis.
