Our mission is to enable researchers to do their best work so science can progress faster.

We build the world's best tools for researchers to find, analyze and build on the world's scientific knowledge. The Inquisite platform is used by thousands of research teams to accelerate their research workflows and unlock new discoveries.



Origins of Inquisite

Inquisite was developed by two faculty members at Duke University, Jon Reifschneider and Dr. Pramod Singh, who teamed up after a combined 40+ years in industry leading the development of AI systems. Their conviction that AI can accelerate the pace of scientific progress led them to create the Inquisite platform.


Inquisite is a Duke spinout organized as a Public Benefit Corporation in 2023 to deliver on its societal mission of acclerating scientific progress. Our team is proudly based in the Research Triangle Park area of North Carolina.
