# Anthropic Launches Claude Science: Workbench for Drug Discovery Research

> Anthropic has released Claude Science, a dedicated workbench aimed at researchers rather than general users. It ships with more than 60 curated skills spanning genomics, proteomics, structural biology and cheminformatics, and it is bundled into every paid plan rather than sold as a pricey add-on. To seed real projects, the company is opening applications through July 15 for up to $30,000 in research credits. The interesting design choice is auditability. Scientific work lives or dies on reproducibility, so Claude Science produces artifacts with a full execution history and supports proper paper citations, letting a lab trace exactly how a result was reached instead of trusting a black box. That framing is the story. Plenty of tools now promise to accelerate discovery, but few are built around the boring, essential requirement that a peer reviewer can check the work. By targeting drug discovery and wet-lab adjacent fields with a reproducible, skills-based environment, Anthropic is trying to make its model a lab instrument, not just a chatbot.
