Claude Science beta workbench for researchers

Claude Science is now available in beta, an AI workbench designed specifically for scientists to conduct research more efficiently. The platform integrates tools and packages commonly used by researchers, produces auditable artifacts, and provides flexible access to computing resources.

Key Features:

• Integrates fragmented research tools into a single environment
• Provides access to over 60 curated skills and connectors pre-configured for genomics, single-cell, proteomics, structural biology, cheminformatics, and more
• Generates rich scientific artifacts including 3D protein structures, genome browser tracks, and chemical structures
• All outputs are fully reproducible with complete code and message history
• Manages compute resources on laptops, HPC clusters, or on-demand GPUs
• Includes a reviewer agent that checks citations and calculations
• Supports local deployment on macOS or Linux, or remote access via SSH or HPC login nodes

Availability:

• Available in beta for Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users
• Runs on macOS and Linux
• Team and Enterprise users need admin enablement

Support Programs:

• Claude Science AI for Science projects offering up to $30,000 in credits
• Modal providing up to $2,000 in compute for select projects
• Up to 50 projects supported with focus on biology and biomedical research
• Applications open through July 15, 2026
• Projects run from September 1 to December 1, 2026

Partnerships: Claude Science integrates with NVIDIA's BioNeMo Agent Toolkit and connects to life sciences models including Evo 2, Boltz-2, and OpenFold3.
