Anthropic on Tuesday launched Claude Science, an AI research workbench designed to help scientists streamline research, analyze data and manage complex computing workflows. The product is aimed at researchers in fields such as life sciences, chemistry and biology, where teams often juggle literature review, coding, data analysis and documentation across multiple tools.
Claude Science brings those tasks into one workspace. Anthropic says the system can connect to more than 60 scientific databases, work with coding and compute tools, and help researchers generate auditable outputs such as figures, manuscripts and analysis trails. It also supports workflows for genomics, protein-structure analysis and chemistry, while giving users a way to trace results back to source code and environment details.
The company is positioning the platform as a practical research companion rather than a standalone model. Anthropic says Claude Science runs on its existing Claude models and includes verification features intended to improve citation quality and calculation accuracy. It can also be deployed on a lab’s own infrastructure, which may appeal to institutions with sensitive data or strict compliance requirements.
The launch reflects growing competition to build AI products for scientific discovery, especially in drug development and biomedical research. Early coverage suggests Anthropic is targeting pharma and healthcare customers first, betting that AI-assisted workflows can cut the time and cost of moving from literature review to experimental planning.
Claude Science is available in beta for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users, while Anthropic is also rolling out dedicated support programs for academic and nonprofit researchers.
