🔬 Co-designing with 100+ researchers across Duke, UNC, and OU networks

Open Science Without
Exposing Your Lab

LabShare is not a data-sharing platform.
It's a privacy-preserving signal economy built on private experimental data.

👉 Simple: You keep raw data private. We publish verifiable outcomes so others can learn, cite, and reward you—without cloning your work.

Built for Life Science Researchers

Individual researchers and their PIs are our priority. If your lab loves it, we've succeeded.

👩‍🔬
Graduate Students & Postdocs

Stop wasting time on protocols that fail. Learn what actually works before you start. Get credit for negative results without publishing full methods.

🧪
Principal Investigators

Protect IP while building lab reputation. Get credit for all your work, not just publications. Attract collaborators based on validated outcomes.

🏢
Lab Managers

Track reagent performance across your lab. Make purchasing decisions based on real data, not vendor claims. Save budget on reagents that actually work.

Real Problems We Solve

Scientists told us what keeps them up at night. Here's how LabShare helps.

✓ See which antibodies actually work for your application before ordering ($300 saved per failed experiment)
✓ Get credit for negative results without publishing the full protocol (your IP stays protected)
✓ Find labs with similar assays—learn from their conditions without seeing raw data
✓ Know your protocol worked before your labmate messages you (real-time success notifications)
✓ Build your reputation through validated outcomes, not just papers (postdocs: this is your career capital)
✓ Stop buying reagents based on vendor marketing—see real performance data from labs like yours

What Stays Private vs. What Becomes Public

The magic: LabShare proves what happened without forcing you to reveal how.

🔒 STAYS PRIVATE

📸 Raw images & graphs
🧪 Exact concentrations
🧩 Full methods, troubleshooting, and any proprietary context (even when outcomes are shared)
📝 Internal notes & troubleshooting
🔐 Proprietary modifications
💾 All raw data files

🌍 BECOMES PUBLIC

✓ Success rate (e.g., "78% success")
🏷️ Reagent SKU (e.g., "Antibody XYZ-123")
🌡️ Condition ranges (e.g., "4-8°C")
⏱️ Time ranges (e.g., "2-4 hours")
📊 Outcome signal (opt-in): worked/failed + confidence (no raw data)
🔢 Dilution used (e.g., "1:500")

Result: Others can replicate your conditions without copying your work. You get credit. They learn. Everyone wins.

The LabShare Architecture
(The Tree is Not a Metaphor)

Six layers. Private roots. Public fruit. Your data never leaves the ground.

🌱 ROOTS: Private Lab Data Never shared • Never indexed • Never monetized 🟫 SOIL: Institutional Trust 🪵 AI Engine 🌿 BRANCHES: Supplier Intelligence 🍃 LEAVES: Profiles & Reputation 🎁 FRUIT: Rewards & Tokens 🪙 🏆 💰 🔑

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about privacy, security, and how LabShare works

What exactly gets shared vs. stays private?
Private forever: Raw data, images, exact concentrations, failed experiments (unless you choose), internal notes, proprietary modifications.
Public signals: Success rates, reagent SKUs, condition ranges (temp, pH, time), outcome (worked/failed), general dilutions used.
How do you extract signals without seeing my data?
Our AI runs in your environment (like a local agent or ELN plugin). It extracts high-level signals (success rate, reagent SKU, conditions) and sends only those anonymized signals to LabShare. Your raw data never leaves your lab's servers.
Can competitors reverse-engineer my methods from the signals?
No. Signals are intentionally abstract—they show that something worked under certain conditions, not how you did it. Think: "Antibody XYZ-123 at 1:500 dilution, 4°C, worked." That's not enough to replicate your proprietary modifications or exact protocol.
Is this compatible with my ELN or LIMS?
We're building integrations for Benchling, LabArchives, and common LIMS systems. During early access, we'll work with your specific setup. Our goal: zero disruption to your existing workflow.
How do tokens work and what can I redeem them for?
Tokens are earned when your signals create value: reproducible outcomes, reagent evaluations, saved failures. Redeem for: conference travel grants, reagent credits, lab supplies, premium features, or collaborative opportunities. No token is earned for just uploading data.
What if I don't want to share a particular experiment?
Every experiment is opt-in. You decide what gets shared. Even after sharing, you can retract signals if needed. Default is: everything stays private unless you explicitly publish.
When will this be available?
We're building the MVP now with feedback from 100+ researchers. Early access program starts Q2 2026. Join the waitlist to be among the first testers—early adopters get lifetime token bonuses.
