Some biomedical research will definitely run up against guardrails. I have had LLMs refuse queries because they thought I was trying to make a bioweapon or something.

For example, modify this transfection protocol to work in primary human Y cells. Could it be someone making a bioweapon? Maybe. Could it be a professional researcher working to cure a disease? Probably.
