AI agent performs gene therapy injection on live mouse in biotech experiment · 6 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [6 sources] ·

A biotech startup has successfully used an AI agent to perform a gene therapy injection on a live mouse, marking a significant step towards AI's active participation in laboratory research. The AI agent, initially tested with Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 but switched to Claude Sonnet 5 due to refusal, selected the therapy, brain region, and injection parameters. This experiment, conducted by Gabriel Ocana Santero of Exin Therapeutics, aims to integrate AI more deeply into scientific processes, moving beyond planning and analysis to direct experimental execution.
