How scientists are using Claude to accelerate research and discovery

Anthropic describes how researchers are deploying Claude-powered systems across scientific workflows, highlighting three case studies: Biomni (a Stanford agentic platform integrating hundreds of biomedical tools), the Cheeseman Lab (automating large-scale gene knockout experiment interpretation), and others. The piece details Claude for Life Sciences and the AI for Science program, which provides free API credits to high-impact research projects. Specific benchmarks cited include compressing months-long GWAS analyses to 20 minutes and analyzing 336,000 single-cell datasets to identify novel transcription factors.
