UCSF Profiles is a research networking tool used by over 60,000 people per month at UCSF to find experts, collaborators, mentors, and peers based on their expertise. It contains profiles for over 6,200 UCSF faculty, fellows, postdocs, research academics, and staff, populated with information from HR systems, publications databases, and NIH grants. Profile owners can customize their profiles by adding photos, narratives, awards, and other information. The system was originally developed by Harvard Catalyst as open source software and has been extended by UCSF.
