Anthropic, an AI development company, announced the launch of its 'Claude Science' platform, designed to assist researchers by integrating various research tools and databases, including automated visualization capabilities. The company stated that several biotech and pharmaceutical firms already use Claude, and it aims to accelerate scientific discovery through AI.

However, the company provided few specifics about which diseases it would target or whether it would participate in laboratory research, animal testing, or clinical trials.
