This issue was fixed in Patch 1.17.7
Since patching my level 8 Scientist can no longer create serums on the Chemistry Lab.
I was able to finish one that was in progress before patching, but cannot start any new ones either at work or at home. Obviously this makes it harder to achieve good progress at work because you have to stop doing tasks if you can't complete any of them.

Thanks for the reports guys
Could anyone try this solution @Lynnisindahouse posted for now ?
Oops, I didn't see that thread when I posted. I did look, but must have missed it (wasn't in compiled list for GTW).
The link you said to follow doesn't work for me. (Unexpected error)
I have same problem...
No CC or mods in my game of any kind. My science sim is one I had previously played and has all aspirations, skills and rewards, she was at level 10 in the science career and had discovered all potions etc when I uploaded her. I downloaded her the night before the patch and she is also unable to create serums. I tried repairing game and also cleaning out cache files and neither fixed the problem. She did recently achieve the grilled cheese aspiration and the club one, and has a thing for the Grim reaper...thanks to grilled cheese.
Is your Sim in the Science career ? If so, try the suggestion with quitting and re-joining
