Inside Anthropic's new molecular biology lab: Claude proposes, scientists verify
AnthropicAI · x · 2026-09-24
This is the first result from Anthropic's new molecular biology lab, where biologists use Claude to accelerate fundamental research. Claude works through data and literature to generate hypotheses and candidate biological systems; Anthropic scientists review them, test the most promising ideas, and do all the lab work themselves. The company wants to extend this approach to genomics and other fields and is soliciting research proposals.
