When Lab Rat founder, Dr. Anousheh, was completing her doctoral degree program at UCLA, she realized there were so many PhD students everywhere conducting really cool research studies, but no easy place to learn about them. Determined to find a way to help give PhD students and research scientists around the world a platform for sharing their work, Lab Rats was born!
Our mission is to make scientific research accessible and exciting to everyone.
Developed by a team of millennials, Lab Rats believe in laughing while learning.
We post research blogs in the Lab Rats library and host an online research talk-show!
We are comprised of a team of award-winning educators, researchers and other experts in the field with a passion for sharing knowledge. We love rats and do not support animal testing.
