Inspired by a matching system, the app enables users to identify common interests, complementary expertise, and potential collaboration opportunities — a kind of “Tinder for drug repurposing researchers”.

Key features: Browse a global map of entities active in drug repurposing. Create and manage your professional or institutional profile. Discover matches with compatible organizations or experts.
