Claude for Life Science Teams

Chase the science that was out of reach

Claude works through problems alongside your team with full citations and audit trails, from your first hypothesis to the final submission.

Meet Claude Science, now available in public beta

Claude works through your research like a skilled scientist, running the analysis and tracing every step. Spend less time stitching pipelines together, and more time on the science.

AI you can verify

Claude shows the lowest hallucination rates and is built with biosafety guardrails. When you connect to PubMed, bioRxiv, and research databases, claims are traced to their source, so teams can verify before they act.

Built for scientific complexity

Analyze genomic data, synthesize hundreds of papers, and design experiments. With Opus 4.8, Claude shows notable improvements in biology benchmarks including BioPipelineBench, single-cell RNA analysis, and structural biology.

Made for R&D

Claude Science is designed for scientific discovery across research, publication, and analysis. Connect to scientific databases for accurate work.

Advancing life sciences with Claude Opus 4.8

Opus 4.8 brings broader, more reliable reasoning to chemistry, structural biology, bioinformatics pipelines, and lab protocol design: steady, measurable progress on the work researchers do every day.

Prompt

Use the scRNA-qc skill to perform QC and filtering on my raw_feature_matrix.h5 file. Apply standard filtering thresholds: min 200 genes per cell, max 6,000 genes per cell, max 15% mitochondrial content. Generate an HTML QC report with UMAP visualization, filtered h5ad file, and metrics CSV showing cells retained vs filtered.

Bioinformatics analysis

Process genomic data with validated bioinformatics pipelines through Claude Science. Claude connects to 10x Genomics and Benchling, then delivers annotated, reproducible reports you can share with cross-functional teams without needing to provide complex code.

Claude Science works through your research like a skilled biologist, running analysis and tracing every step. Spend less time stitching pipelines together, and more time on science.

Claude Code

Accelerate bioinformatics pipelines and validate scientific software under GxP requirements. Turn computational biology challenges into working code in minutes.

Claude Cowork

Automate routine lab workflows and data processing tasks. Cowork handles repetitive work like data entry and file management so scientists can focus on discovery.

Claude for Microsoft 365

Refine a clinical study in Word, update trial data in Excel, build research presentations in PowerPoint, and do team coordination in Outlook. Claude carries context across it all.
