June 2021 marks an exciting month as we see some of our C. elegans thought leaders speaking at key events. The 23rd Biannual International C. elegans conference will be held over 21st - 24th of June. #Worm2021 has been reimagined to take place online to feature virtual discussion sessions, interactive workshops and connect worm experts […]

This article will tell the story of how C. elegans enabled a life-changing effects drug therapy for a child suffering from a rare disease

Magnitude Biosciences, the world’s leading C. elegans Contract Research Organisation (CRO) and commercial lab, is on an amazing journey. When we started in 2018, the potential of C. elegans to address research challenges was largely unknown to biotechs and the R&D teams of large manufacturing, health products and consumer goods companies. Now, in 2021, we […]

Dr Manish Chamoli in the lab of Gordon Lithgow at the Buck Institute (Right) David Weinkove, 15 June 2023 A recent research article in Science showed that supplementing with taurine slows ageing across a number of species: mouse, zebrafish, monkey and my favourite model organism the worm C. elegans. The worm may seem a lowly […]
