Summary

Anthropic is inviting life science researchers to apply for 8-12 week collaborations with its researchers, using Claude on questions in causal human biology, structural and computational molecular biology, medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, and clinical science. Anthropic says it will run its models and harnesses at no cost to participants, publish the outputs together, and open-source the accompanying data and code, while investigators keep the rights to their data at every step. Applications stay open for about two weeks.

Why it matters for our work

The program gives academic teams a way to test precision-biology questions against frontier AI on a weeks-long cycle instead of years, lowering the computing barrier for the research groups that could benefit most.
