NVIDIA BioNeMo integrated into Anthropic’s Claude Science

Anthropic launched a public beta of Claude Science that integrates NVIDIA’s BioNeMo Agent Toolkit. The integration makes NVIDIA-accelerated biomolecular models, libraries and production microservices available inside the Claude environment.

Researchers can give plain-language instructions — such as analyzing a genomic sequence, predicting protein structure or designing molecular binders — and Claude Science maps those requests to preconfigured, domain-specific agents. The agents call the BioNeMo toolkit to select models, format inputs, run compute on NVIDIA-backed infrastructure and return results for human review.

The BioNeMo Agent Toolkit packages biomolecular models, computational libraries and NVIDIA NIM microservices as callable programmatic skills. NIM microservices are containerized inference endpoints with an accelerated software stack and a single stable API for production deployments.

The integration imports models including Evo 2, Boltz-2 and OpenFold3 into the Claude Science environment and exposes tools such as Parabricks for genomic analysis, RAPIDS-singlecell for single-cell workflows and nvMolKit for cheminformatics.

Anthropic and NVIDIA described example applications. In one workflow a researcher identifies a cancer-associated antigen mutation and asks Claude Science to design candidate inhibitors; agents then run large-scale prediction, optimization and validation steps using BioNeMo services. NVIDIA tools can shorten genomic runtimes from hours to minutes, Parabricks was cited for such reductions. RAPIDS-singlecell cut a 1.3-million-cell preprocessing and clustering workflow from about 52 minutes to 25 seconds, and nvMolKit is reported to accelerate conformer generation and similarity searches by up to 3,000 times.

The toolkit is harness-agnostic so the same programmatic skills can operate across different agent frameworks and enterprise research platforms. Engineering teams can download the toolkit and associated skills from NVIDIA developer resources and GitHub repositories.

Anthropic is running Claude Science as a public beta and is collecting researcher feedback on software integrations and additional domain expertise. According to Anthropic and NVIDIA, BioNeMo is deployed in production by 18 of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies.
