How LabCompass works

A calm, structured path from "I want research experience" to a real conversation with a mentor.

  1. 1 — Onboarding

    Answer ~15 questions about interests, goals, availability, and experience. No prior research required.

  2. 2 — Personalized path

    Get a curated list of labs, programs, and skills to build. Each match shows why it fits your profile.

  3. 3 — Thoughtful outreach

    Draft cold emails with AI assistance grounded in the lab's real work. You review and send yourself.

  4. 4 — Track & follow up

    See who replied, when to follow up, and what your next best action is — including strong Plan B options.
