Exclusive-Anthropic quietly sets up biology lab as it ramps AI drug program
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 18: Anthropic, an artificial intelligence startup, has quietly established a laboratory for physical biology work alongside its rapid expansion into the field of drug science, according to sources familiar with the matter. The startup's new wet lab, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, enables it to conduct experimental work outside of computer simulations.
Eric Kauderer-Abrams, Anthropic's head of life sciences, emphasized that while out-of-silico evaluations are crucial, real lab work remains essential for final testing. The company aims to develop treatments for rare diseases, a goal that underpins its ambitious AI-driven drug program.
