Caenorhabditis elegans International Research Community

The Caenorhabditis elegans International Research Community is a global organization of scientists who study a tiny, transparent worm called C. elegans. These worms help researchers understand fundamental biological processes like development, aging, and genetics because they are simple, well-understood, and share many features with more complex animals. The community promotes collaboration, shares data and tools, and supports advancements in research using C. elegans, ultimately contributing to insights into human health and disease. It serves as a network for researchers worldwide to connect, collaborate, and accelerate scientific discovery.
