Matt Durrant
AnthropicLife Science Researcher
Durrant connects AI genome modelling with tools for rewriting DNA. He helped build Evo 2, which predicts genetic effects and generates DNA sequences,[1] and co-discovered bridge RNAs, programmable guides that let enzymes insert, remove or rearrange DNA.[2] His work links learning the genome’s patterns with changing its structure.
