Anthropic has launched Claude Science, a new AI-powered workbench designed to help scientists conduct research more efficiently by bringing together literature analysis, data processing, scientific visualisation, and computing resources on a single platform.
The tool is now available in beta for Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users on macOS and Linux.
Claude Science is aimed at researchers who typically work with multiple tools, including PubMed, Jupyter notebooks, R, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. Instead of switching between different platforms, scientists can now perform much of their workflow within a single environment.
The platform is powered by a coordinating AI agent that works alongside more than 60 pre-configured scientific skills and connectors covering genomics, proteomics, structural biology, cheminformatics, and single-cell analysis. A built-in reviewer agent also checks citations, calculations and figures, helping identify, and correct potential errors before publication.
The company said Claude Science generates not only research summaries but also reproducible scientific outputs such as figures, manuscripts, protein structures, genome browser tracks, and chemical structures. Every output includes the code, environment and message history used to create it, allowing researchers to validate and reproduce results later.
The platform can also manage computing jobs by connecting to researchers’ existing infrastructure, including local machines, remote servers and HPC clusters. It can submit large-scale analyses, monitor progress, and retrieve results without requiring users to manually configure computing environments.
According to the company, researchers have already used Claude Science for applications including single-cell RNA sequencing, CRISPR screen design, protein structure prediction and molecular epidemiology. The company said scientists at organisations such as the Allen Institute, Manifold Bio and the UCSF Brain Tumor Center reported significant reductions in research time using the platform.
Alongside the launch, Anthropic announced support for up to 50 AI for Science projects, offering up to $30,000 in Claude credits, while cloud computing platform Modal will provide up to $2,000 in compute credits for selected projects.
