About Benchpro
The story and people behind Benchpro.
Benchpro began with a question: how can scientists show what they contributed beyond a name on a paper? Nearly a decade later, it is making its way into the world.
Our mission
Make scientific skills and research roles visible.
So every scientist can be recognized for their work and discovered for what they can do.
People
The people behind Benchpro.
Benchpro is currently shaped by two complementary perspectives: software and science.

What we believe
The principles we build by
-
Credit should reach the people who earned it
Author lists, affiliations and job titles don’t tell the whole story of what you contributed. We’re building Benchpro to make that work visible, so you can be recognised for your contribution—not just where you work or your position in the author list.
-
Skills should stay connected to research
Your profile should show more than a list of techniques. Benchpro connects skills with research sources and your role, so collaborators and employers can understand the experience behind them.
-
Colleagues add context
A colleague who knows your role can confirm that specific research experience. For publication-linked work, this may be a co-author. Their confirmation is not certification of your overall proficiency.
