Claude Science traces back to a biotech acquisition and a Nobel hire
Anthropic's new research workbench builds on its Coefficient Bio acquisition and the hire of AlphaFold lead John Jumper.

The launch of Claude Science is underpinned by two moves reported this week: Anthropic's acquisition of Coefficient Bio, and the hiring of John Jumper, who led the AlphaFold team at Google DeepMind and shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Bringing in a Nobel laureate to help shape a scientific AI product is a strong signal of how seriously Anthropic is chasing credibility with research institutions, not just developers.
