Advance science in novel directions with opn2EXPERTS

opnMe's expert guidance was pivotal in forging our research collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim. Their initiative seamlessly bridged the gap between academic and industry research, uniting foundational biomedical science with application-oriented translational animal health research.

I found the opnMe portal very easy to navigate and use. The application process is straightforward; this can be achieved in one afternoon. The time from submission to decision is one of the fastest turnarounds I have had, and this aspect makes a real difference in the momentum of pursuing a scientific idea.

opnMe facilitated an efficient research partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim, accelerating the discovery of bioactive peptides. opnMe enabled us to combine expertise and resources, therefore leveraging the strengths of both organizations to achieve innovative outcomes.

opnMe represents a great concept of open science in two ways: It allows Boehringer to stimulate research at the forefront of scientific discovery within a well-defined disease area and it allows academics to excel by approaching Boehringer Ingelheim with proactive, innovative ideas.

It has been a pleasure for me to participate in opnMe. In addition to providing funding for our research project, it has given my lab an opportunity to collaborate with excellent people at Boehringer Ingelheim, generated some exciting results, and taught us new things about brain circuitry.
