What do our customers say?

"I sincerely like it. I’m not using PubMed at all anymore. It is so convenient having all sort of different databases in a single one stop solution, it saves me a lot of efforts and time. It’s now even my start site in Chrome. To find literature, researchers, companies, etc."
Scientific Director
at Top 5 Pharma Company
"AcademicLabs has significantly enhanced our innovation process by enabling us to more easily identify cutting-edge innovations and connect with top-tier researchers globally. The ability to target specific researchers, such as authors of the top 500 recent publications in a given field, split by country and institution, and obtain their emails for innovation crowdsourcing initiatives has consistently yielded outstanding results with high engagement and interest rates."
Dr. Ulrich A.K. Betz
Vice President Innovation Merck
and Chairman of the Board Future Insight
Jonathan Rohll
“It’s a great tool to find key experts and a good entry point to look into literature, patents, clinical trials, and projects all in one place—it has handy filters and is very user-friendly.”
Stephanie Staelens, Ph.D.
Head of Early Drug Discovery Project Management
at Confo Therapeutics
Jonathan Rohll
“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.”
Jonathan Rohll
Head of Business Information
at OBN
"As someone who is constantly on the lookout for new research collaborations, AcademicLabs is a game-changer for anyone in the life sciences looking to stay ahead of the curve and find impactful projects. It will become my go-to platform for discovering innovative projects and potential partners. Its comprehensive database, which aggregates both academic and industry research, saves me countless hours by providing curated, up-to-date insights in one place. The intuitive interface and powerful search functions quickly streamlines my project scouting process and connects me with cutting-edge research and niche opportunities I might not have found otherwise."
Lutz Kummer
R&D Managing Director at Molecule
"After using AcademicLabs for a project side-by-side to other tools, I now by default always go to AcademicLabs when I have new ideas and want to learn more about the topic."
Senior Biology Scientist
at Biotech Startup
"I now use AcademicLabs instead of Web of Science because I can find not only the publications on a technology, but also the patents, companies and experts in one place, which saves so much time!"
Scientific Director
at top 10 Pharma Company
"I used it a lot and every time I use it I get value. I mostly used it to proactively identifying the professors I want to talk to at a university prior to meeting a university Tech Transfer Office, instead of relying on the TTO’s suggestions."
BD and Partnerships
at Venture Studio
"Unlike in SciLeads, Zymewire and Monocl, in AcademicLabs I could easily find the details of recently funded projects, publications, clinical trials and patents, as well filter by all kinds of related criteria to identify and reach out in a personalized way to the most promising experts, groups and companies that are currently active in an area for which we offer solutions. This led to much higher reply rates."
Sales Representative
at Diagnostics Company
"The system is so easy to use that I'll actually use it. This makes it very accessible to use on a frequent basis — for example, if I have 30 minutes in between. Will help me to be efficient. You have sites that are so complicated to use and eventually you don't do it."
Senior Scientist
at top 10 Pharma Company
"I was losing so much time on PubMed, it was impossible to identify all key virology researchers in select EU countries to engage them for an EU project. With AcademicLabs, it was so easy. I vouch for AcademicLabs in our organization and externally!"
Drug Discovery Scientific Leader
at top 10 Pharma Company
"It works really well to find KOLs and other experts in specific disease, target and technology areas. We found who we needed to aid us in our strategy."
Business Developer
at Biotech Company
"When I see a potential partner at an event I check out their company on AcademicLabs (clinical trials and patents mostly) to decide if it is relevant to get in touch with them."
