Biology Without Limits

Teaching biology often means working around practical constraints like limited lab space, expensive equipment, and reduced budgets. Growing class sizes can make it difficult for every student to fully participate in experiments or get the help they need during class.

UniVirtual removes those barriers.

Experience it Yourself

On our platform, lab equipment is always available, experiments can be repeated instantly and as often as is needed, and students explore exciting environments that would be impossible to recreate in a physical classroom.

UniVirtual does not replace instructors, it provides a virtual space where they can connect with their students in real time.

“My students just love it. They embrace [their virtual course], spend a lot of time here, and they want to come back and do the labs over and over again!”

— Michele Yeargain, Department of Biology, UCF

“This was an awesome way to learn the labs. A lot of the time I struggle to understand the processes in biology because I simply can’t imagine it. This method was a great way to resolve that problem.”

— UniVirtual Biology Student, Spring 2025

“I loved using UniVirtual throughout my semester. It made learning biology more interactive and enjoyable. I hope [my university] continues using it, because it helps students understand the material on a deeper level.”

— UniVirtual Biology Student, Spring 2025

What to Expect

Our demo includes the full set of environments and activities from our comprehensive introductory Biology course. You are free to move through topics and explore the environments at your own pace, though we recommend starting with “Orientation” to get to grips with traversing the virtual world!

Explore on the Macromolecular Scale

Shrink down to microscopic size and move through a giant cell environment while learning about cellular respiration and organelles.

Master Mendelian Genetics

Apply Mendelian Genetics to help restore the population of an alien species that has crash-landed on Earth.

Experiment in Virtual Bench Labs

Use equipment and undertake experiments in a fully equipped lab environment where every student has access to the tools they need.

Concepts Covered

Close-up of a virtual microscope with a slide under the lens.

Microscope (Compound & Dissecting)

Two futuristic astronauts stand in front of a colorful alien plant on an orange, otherworldly landscape with floating spheres and scattered rocks.

Cellular Respiration

Futuristic explorer in a colorful abstract environment, featuring red and blue swirling shapes and structures, with a sci-fi atmosphere.
Greenhouse interior with rows of flowering plants in raised beds, tables with scientific equipment, chairs, and containers in a desert-like environment.

Mendelian Genetics

Laboratory setup with bottles of sucrose solutions, a digital scale, a water bottle, and plastic cups labeled with molar concentrations.

Enzymes

Laboratory setup with a test tube, O2 sensor holder, test chamber, and digital timer on a workbench.

Osmosis & Diffusion

Two futuristic robots in a surreal environment with twisting, textured tubes and a vibrant pink-purple background.

DNA Synthesis, Transcription, & Translation
