Anthropic builds biology lab for AI drug research
Anthropic has set up a wet lab in the San Francisco Bay Area to develop AI-driven treatments for rare diseases.
Anthropic, the AI startup behind Claude, has quietly built a wet lab, a facility for physical biology experiments, in the San Francisco Bay Area. The move expands the company beyond software into actual drug research.
Anthropic aims to use AI to help unlock treatments for rare diseases. A wet lab lets scientists test theories with real cells and compounds, not just code.
This marks another step in AI companies moving from pure software into biology and medicine.
