Computational science, without the barriers
Our mission
SimLab Science exists so that learning and doing computational science never depends on owning the hardware or fighting the software. One platform covers the whole arc: learn the methods, prepare and run real calculations, and analyze the results - all in the browser.
The platform
- SimLab Academy - cohort-based training in computational science: lectures, guided reading, live cloud laboratories and graded, reproducible hands-on work.
- Dock & Build- molecular docking with binding-pocket prediction and interaction analysis, MD system preparation for protein and protein–ligand systems, and quantum-chemistry input generation. No account needed.
- SimLab Compute - calculations run on our own infrastructure: DFT is live today, molecular dynamics is on the way.
- SimLab Analyze - upload an MD trajectory and get publication-style analyses charted in the browser.
- Research Services- a human-reviewed route for projects that need our team's direct involvement.
The problem we solve
Computational methods like molecular dynamics are central to modern biology, chemistry, and materials science - yet access to them is gated by expensive hardware, fragile local software installs, and a steep, often unguided learning curve. Many students never get past environment setup before giving up entirely.
Why cloud laboratories matter
By moving the laboratory into the browser, we remove the single biggest barrier to entry: local setup. Every student gets an identical, pre-configured research environment, provisioned and managed by us - never requiring students to touch cloud provider accounts, billing, or credentials.
Why cohort-based learning matters
Learning computational science alone is isolating and easy to abandon. A small, capped cohort with scheduled live laboratories creates accountability, peer troubleshooting, and the kind of collaborative scientific culture that produces real researchers.
Founder & Instructors
SimLab Science was founded and built by Oluwatosin Saibu, a PhD researcher in Chemistry and Biochemistry at New Mexico State University studying membrane protein dynamics and drug discovery through molecular dynamics simulations. All sections are taught by Oluwatosin alongside Temitope Odunitan, a computational biologist specializing in in silico drug screening and molecular docking. Together, they built SimLab Science to give students and researchers the hands-on capability that traditional courses and expensive infrastructure rarely provide.

Where we're headed
Molecular dynamics is the first Academy course, with tracks planned in computational chemistry, bioinformatics, structural biology and AI in biology. On the platform side: molecular dynamics on SimLab Compute, and deeper analysis tooling in Analyze - always hands-on, always in the browser.
Academic integrity
Assignments and quizzes are individual work unless explicitly stated otherwise. Collaboration and discussion during live laboratories is encouraged and expected - submitting another person's work as your own is not. See our full Academic Integrity Policy.
