About us
We envision a world with equitable access to science learning and career resources.
We envision a world with equitable access to science learning and career resources.
Created at Harvard University with support from the Amgen Foundation, this powerful digital tool makes high-quality science education accessible and gives learners and educators, everywhere, the courage to chart a meaningful path in science—for free.
At LabXchange, we strive to give educators the best tools to teach, and students the best tools to learn.
What I like most about LabXchange is the potential to integrate lab practice and simulations, and the flexibility of creating personal pathways.
As a young scientist, LabXchange helped me to sharpen my lab skills.
LabXchange offers opportunities for students and teachers to
have the same learning experiences, regardless of location or resources.
We offer distinctive tools and features to support educators and students.
When it comes to learning, one size does not fit all. Whether you’re in school, university, or a career, LabXchange gives you the freedom to align learning to your unique needs.
Through a flexible approach to content, learners and educators can engage with individual content types—including videos, assessments and simulations—and build them into customized learning journeys aligned to specific goals.
For many learners, science can feel like a collection of facts to memorize. This is contrary to what the scientific process is: a journey that requires bold thinking, constant iteration, and deep imagination. With LabXchange, learners everywhere can experience the joy of discovery through interactive learning content.

“There are many millions of students who, as a result of economic or geographic limitations, simply do not have access to one of the most central aspects of being a scientist, which is working in a laboratory,” said Robert Lue, principal investigator of LabXchange and professor of the practice of molecular and cellular biology at Harvard. “LabXchange addresses this issue with a platform that integrates dynamic experimental simulations with background curriculum and social networking — all created to more effectively expose students of varying backgrounds to the authentic and engaging experience of scientific discovery.”
Envisioned by the late Dr. Robert Lue, LabXchange was designed to give students around the world equal access to high-quality science learning experiences. LabXchange received initial planning grants from the Amgen Foundation in 2016 and 2017, followed by major grants in 2018 and 2022. In 2023, LabXchange received additional funding from the U.S. Department of Defense to make learning data science easier. Housed at Harvard University’s Vice Provost for Advances in Learning, LabXchange remains true to its founder’s vision: that everyone needs science and science needs everyone.
