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.
