He also said while Anthropic is doing lab work in-house, it's also working with external partners when it makes sense. A spokesperson told Reuters that the lab wasn't created specifically, or perhaps only, for drug discovery.

But the company has yet to reveal what It’s working on.

Anthropic has established a biology research lab in the San Francisco Bay Area to conduct physical experiments, according to Reuters. Eric Kauderer-Abrams, the company's Head of Life Sciences, has confirmed the lab's existence to the news organization.

Kauderer-Abrams didn't specify what exactly Anthropic is working on, but the company launched a drug discovery program called Claude Science back in June. Anthropic said that it was interested in doing research that pharma companies wouldn't touch because it likely wouldn't pay off financially.

While it's unclear what kind of work Anthropic is doing in the new lab, Kauderer-Abrams said he believes AI could fast-track the discovery of treatments for conditions before thought to be too difficult to treat.

Sources told Reuters that one of the things Anthropic is looking at is to make Claude control robots to carry out scientific experiments.
