The market will resolve to NO if he has not been awarded the prize by the market's closing date.

Background

In 2024, Demis Hassabis was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry alongside John M. Jumper and David Baker for their breakthrough work on predicting protein structures using the AI model AlphaFold. Prior to receiving the Chemistry Nobel, Hassabis won the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research in 2023, which is widely considered the "American Nobel" in medicine. Due to AlphaFold's massive impact on drug discovery and biomedical sciences, some speculate that his work may eventually merit a second Nobel Prize specifically in the Physiology or Medicine category. Winning multiple Nobel Prizes is historically rare, having only been achieved by a small group of scientists.
