Anthropic’s Jonah Cool (Head of Life Sciences Partnerships and Deployment) and Eric Kauderer-Abrams (Head of Biology and Life Sciences Research) share their vision for making Claude the go-to AI research assistant for scientists with Claude for Life Sciences.
They dive into how Anthropic is building AI that actually works for researchers—helping scientists handle real work like running bioinformatics analysis or creating publication-ready figures and reports.
Plus, hear about partnerships with Benchling, 10x Genomics, and PubMed, and how these collaborations are creating an ecosystem where Claude fits naturally into the tools and workflows scientists already use.
