Anthropic launches Claude Life Sciences, making it easier for researchers to use the AI software
Anthropic has launched Claude for Life Sciences, making it easier to use the LLM to support research in its first formal launch into the life sciences sector.
Using Anthropic’s existing AI models, Claude for Life Sciences supports connections with scientific tools: Benchling, PubMed, Scholar Gateway by Wiley, Synapse.org, and 10x Genomics.
Anthropic has also launched a library of prompts, that allow users to get the best results from these tools. Users can also set up custom skills.
Anthropic says the new tools will allow users to complete tasks such as conducting literature reviews and developing hypotheses. Claude can also be used to draft study protocols, standard operating procedures, and consent documents.
Scientists can also use Claude to process and analyze genomic data using Claude Code. The LLM can present its results in formats including slides, docs, or code notebook.
Claude can also draft and review regulatory submissions and compile compliance data.
James Zou, Associate Professor at Stanford University, says: “Claude Code and partnership with Anthropic have been extremely valuable for developing Paper2Agent, our moonshot to transform passive research papers into interactive AI agents that can act as virtual corresponding authors and co-scientists.”
Claude for Life Sciences is now available through Claude.com and on the AWS Marketplace. Anthropic says it will also be made available on Google Cloud.
