DESCRIPTION:Jonah Cool\, PhD\nThe talk is jointly organized by the EPFL 
 AI Center and the AIMM Lab as part of the AI for Science seminar serie
 s.\n\nHosting professor: Prof. Charlotte Bunne (AIMM)\n\nRegistration with
  an EPFL email is required: HERE.\n\n! This event is restricted to EPFL me
 mbers. The Zoom live stream is also restricted and requires authentication
  with an EPFL email address for access. !\n\nTitle\nAI for Science at Anth
 ropic: Building Tools for Scientific Discovery\n\nAbstract\nThis talk will
  explore Anthropic's approach to developing AI systems that can meaningful
 ly accelerate scientific research. I'll discuss our AI for Science program
 \, share examples of how researchers are using Claude across domains from 
 molecular biology to materials science\, and outline our thinking on what 
 makes AI genuinely useful for working scientists. I'll also touch on the M
 odel Context Protocol (MCP) and how it enables integration with scientific
  tools and data sources.\n\nBio\nJonah Cool leads life sciences partnershi
 ps and deployment at Anthropic\, where he works directly with researchers\
 , academic institutions\, and biotech startups to apply frontier AI to sci
 entific discovery. His focus is on understanding where large language mode
 ls can meaningfully accelerate biological research and building the partne
 rships\, evaluation frameworks\, and deployment practices to make that hap
 pen responsibly.\n\nBefore Anthropic\, Jonah served as VP of Science & Par
 tnerships at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative\, where he launched the Single
  Cell Biology program and led cross-sector technology development spanning
  biotech\, academia\, and philanthropy. He holds a PhD in cell biology (AH
 A fellow) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Salk Institute (N
 IH fellow). His career has moved across academia\, biotech startups\, larg
 e-scale philanthropy\, and now frontier AI\, connected by a consistent foc
 us on finding the leverage points where new technology can change how scie
 nce gets done.
