Case Study: Karolinska Institutet boosts student understanding with Labster

How Cell Biology Students Convinced Karolinska Institutet to Teach with Labster

Karolinska Institutet sought to enhance practical training and theoretical understanding of experimental methods within its biomedicine program. The challenge was to better prepare students for real-world lab work and to provide access to high-end machinery experiences that were otherwise difficult to obtain.

The solution was implemented using Labster's virtual lab simulations, which were integrated into the curriculum. The results were highly positive, with 80% of students finding Labster a powerful and supportive tool. Notably, 50% of students reported the simulations increased their understanding of course content to a large extent. Labster was successfully used to prepare students for wet labs, expand access to complex equipment, and reinforce theoretical knowledge.
