Anthropic sets up physical biology lab for hands-on AI drug discovery
iScienceLuvr · x · 2026-09-18
Anthropic is setting up a physical lab to do real-world biology work, a move seen as the logical next step for AI-based drug discovery.
The argument: AI in biology is limited mainly by data and measurement — purely in silico work isn't enough, and models must directly interact with and learn from messy, real-world biological systems to produce useful results.
