AcademicLabs vs Pipeline Databases

Pipeline databases provide insights on asset programs, drug intelligence and sometime drug sales and market intelligence.

AcademicLabs instead focuses on early-stage research intelligence, finding KOLs, rising star experts and early-stage companies with their innovations (including drugs in development). Company profiles are centered around their science rather than financials and assets, yet AcademicLabs does cover clinical trials, clinical trial outcome publications and assets in development.

Both solutions are often used in a complementary way. Whereas some rather need a late-stage oriented solution like a Pipeline Database, and others an early-stage focused solution like AcademicLabs.

In the table below, we compare it to AcademicLabs for multiple use cases.

“It really massively simplified the process of gathering data on research groups, clinical trials, patents, and publications for more than 100 rare diseases.
It saved me a great deal of time and effort.”

"I really enjoy using AcademicLabs. It has been extremely useful in finding opportunities and our experience is far superior to other database companies that we have previously used.
The filters and analytics are so easy to use, precise and brings back exactly what you are looking for."
