UCSF Profiles, powered by CTSI, is a repository of open data 8000+ UCSF researchers, faculty, and postdocs, designed to make it easy to learn about and connect with researchers based on their areas of expertise. The data behind Profiles is available free of charge, and can be used to build websites, perform research analytics, etc. The UCSF Profiles API is used by dozens of websites and applications across UCSF and beyond.
