OpenWorm
We are seeking new funding to continue this project led by Dr. Stephen Larson. The OpenWorm Project aims to create the world’s first completely virtual multicellular organism. The Caenorhabditis elegans roundworm (C. Elegans), established as a model organism system by Dr. Sydney Brenner, is useful for wide-ranging purposes due to its experimental accessibility and extensively studied biological functions and systems at multiple scales.
