OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Research Connections Zone, where you'll find the information you need to get started using Einstein Research Profiles.
With the introduction of Einstein Research Profiles (ERP), Einstein scientists now have information at their fingertips that can help them develop new research collaborations and assist them in locating in-house biomedical expertise. The Einstein Research Profiles website has been developed by Collexis — a world leader in knowledge management and discovery software — to give investigators easy access to PubMed publications, information about NIH grants, and each investigator’s network of collaborators.

This website is more than just a catalog; it is a powerful tool for integrating information. We hope this tool will support our Strategic Research Plan and synergize interdisciplinary research by using innovative information technologies to promote collaboration across the entire bench-to-bedside-to-population spectrum of science.
To get started…
Getting started using ERP is easy.
Faculty Members: Go to www.einstein.yu.edu/ERP, where you will see a departmental listing that can take you to your own specific profile page. You can search concepts, people, or text directly from the home page. The site is easy to navigate; you may wish to explore its functions before refining your profile.
You can update your profile by clicking on the BioMedExperts (BME) link on the lower right side of your ERP profile page and creating your own BME account. The free and password-protected BME account also allows you to access the entire Collexis portal.
Postdocs, Students, and Staff: While ERP offers profile pages for faculty only, both ERP and BME are available to all members of the Einstein community. You may establish a free, password-protected BME account through which you'll be able to navigate the BME and ERP sites, to learn about researchers worldwide and at Einstein.
All: BME is a literature-based, research-networking platform available to investigators around the world. Its website (www.biomedexperts.com) contains preexisting profiles generated by extracting and assigning the biomedical concepts from an article to the authors and coauthors. Any member of the Einstein community — including postdocs, students, and technical staff — who may be cited as an author or coauthor of a paper listed on PubMed may create a BME profile. The site enables Einstein faculty members, postdocs, and students to manage and fine-tune their own research profiles.
Additional Notes
- Our Faculty Directory (www.einstein.yu.edu/home/faculty/search.asp) will continue in its present form, but will also link to the Einstein Research Profiles. We encourage you to update your Overview of Professional Interests and other portions of that directory.
- Faculty who are members of Einstein/Montefiore academic departments will find their profiles listed by department on the Einstein Research Profiles home page; faculty at other affiliates will be added to the site in the near future (via the “Other Clinical Affiliates” link on the home page).
"Through our strategic plan, we laid out an ambitious future for Einstein with the goal of developing a state-of-the-art research environment that will foster scientific investigation at all levels, from the bench to the bedside and from the clinic to the community. The Einstein Research Profiles complement our mission to create this collaborative environment that will attract and retain the best and brightest students and scientists."
