BioRender

BioRender is a web-based scientific figure and illustration platform used by over 4 million scientists and thousands of research institutions worldwide. It allows researchers, pharma teams, and academic groups to create publication-ready figures, graphs, slides, posters, and presentations without requiring design skills. The platform is built on a large library of editable, scientifically accurate visuals and incorporates AI-powered tools to support the full workflow from data analysis through to final presentation.

BioRender is trusted by all top 30 pharmaceutical companies and has been cited in over 500,000 publications, including work appearing in journals such as Nature, Science, and Cell. More than 15 Nobel Prize winners have used the platform to visualize their research. Labs using BioRender have reported up to three times higher NIH grant funding in associated case studies.
