Research the literature and evidence
Retrieve and cross-check relevant databases, prior art, and published methods.
Marvin works alongside you as your autonomous collaborator through every step of the research loop.
Try Marvin FreeHumans over the loop. Marvin coordinates the complete scientific workflow from literature synthesis to experimental design and analysis as autonomously (or not) as you want.
Seamless integration. Marvin integrates with a vast ecosystem of platforms and scientific tools with its world-class memory system to enable unmatched long-horizon reasoning throughout your project's life cycle.
Multi-disciplinary. Whether your work is in basic research or in the clinic, Marvin's agentic tools can help accelerate discovery and deliver better results faster.
Retrieve and cross-check relevant databases, prior art, and published methods.
Synthesize literature and experimental results to generate grounded, testable hypotheses.
Plan experiments, define controls, and track your overall project's trajectory across batches.
Build, audit, review, and execute across local, hybrid, and cloud compute.
Extract findings, quantify uncertainty, and test the result against alternatives.
Record every iteration, interpretation, and decision—not only the final result.
Marvin is built with scientific rigor in mind. That's why all of our hundreds of scientific skills -- from experimental design to writing to analysis -- are custom written or curated by PhD-level scientists and KOLs in their respective fields.
And Marvin isn't just for the life sciences! Marvin's diverse repertoire includes expertise in economics, physics, materials science, and chemical engineering.
Plan experiments with appropriate controls, biological replicates, and readouts. Estimate statistical power and sample sizes, choose randomization or factorial designs, and identify confounding before committing time and resources to the study.
Build and calibrate numerical models, including differential-equation simulations. Explore parameter sensitivity and uncertainty, compare predictions against observations, and check numerical stability and convergence before interpreting the output.
Reconstruct a published analysis from its methods, code, and data. Rerun key figures and test how preprocessing, parameter choices, and statistical assumptions affect the result—making agreements, discrepancies, and missing methodological details explicit.
Explore bulk, single-cell, and spatial data with workflows for quality control, cell-type annotation, differential expression, pathway enrichment, and multi-omic integration. Account for batch effects and biological replication when interpreting the signals.
Investigate germline and somatic variants using population frequencies, functional annotations, and the available clinical literature. Assess phenotype and inheritance evidence where relevant, while keeping uncertain significance, conflicting classifications, and gaps in the evidence visible.
Compare targets and therapeutic candidates across disease genetics, expression, tractability, and safety evidence. Assess structures and docking results, flag ADMET and antibody-developability concerns, and identify the experiments needed to resolve the most consequential uncertainties.
Search over 250 million scientific publications, patents, and clinical trials across disciplines through one centralized portal.
Use a variety of models across providers -- including Anthropic, OpenAI, z.ai, Kimi -- and tailor Marvin to your specific research tasks. You can also bring your own subscriptions and API keys or even use your privately hosted inference.
Marvin is the engine behind Iluvatar Open Research Initiative's open research projects and public benefit programs.
Learn more about IORIAs scientists, we understand how important it is that your work stays private until you're ready to share it.
That's why Marvin is end-to-end encrypted to keep your data safe. Marvin does not use your data to train models. External providers handle content under the applicable disclosed route and terms.
