5118 people who publish most in each area, with their institution, the topics they work on and links to
their public profiles. Use it to find a group whose work matches yours, whether or not it is hiring right now.
How this list is made, and how to correct or remove an entry
Built from OpenAlex, an open
bibliographic database: for each research area we take the authors with the most papers since 2022 and keep those with an
established track record. That usually picks out group leaders but not always (a clinician or a core-facility head can
appear), people move institutions, and OpenAlex sometimes splits one person in two. It is a starting point, not a verdict on
anyone. We collect no email addresses. To get in touch, use the lab's own page or the institution's profile.
To correct or remove an entry, tell us the name or the OpenAlex id shown on the card.
