Anthropic has established its own biology laboratory in the San Francisco Bay Area, taking the AI company beyond computer-based research and into physical experiments as it expands its work in life sciences.
The facility is a wet lab, where researchers can conduct experiments involving biological materials rather than limiting work to computer simulations. Two people familiar with the operation disclosed the lab to Reuters. Anthropic's head of life sciences, Eric Kauderer-Abrams, confirmed that the company is conducting physical laboratory work.
