Citrini launched Citrini Therapeutics, spending 3 months working hands-on with Anthropic's internal research model to test what AI can really do in bio — attempting to design an experimental scorpion antivenom to separate hype from reality.
Apoorva Srinivasan sharply questioned the project: who will do the hard work of validating the design through all the experimental phases? She criticized Anthropic for posting the demo and moving on without follow-through.
