$40.0M
Strategic Rationale
Stock deal just over $400M for a stealth, sub-10-person team of former Genentech/Prescient Design computational biologists building biology-specific AI models ("artificial superintelligence for science"). Escalates Anthropic's life-sciences strategy beyond adapting general-purpose Claude; the team joined the Healthcare & Life Sciences division under Eric Kauderer-Abrams.
