Support us

Donate to OpenWorm to support our volunteer work and accelerate development of the first artificial organism.

How can I contribute?








It matters.


How will the money be spent?

$500

Sponsor an OpenWorm Studentship. This would allow a talented C. elegans researcher to convert their published work for use in OpenWorm.

$15,000

Organize an OpenWorm conference. This would give our distributed team the possibility to meet in person, boosting productivity and coordination.

$40,000

Pay a PhD student or a junior developer to work full-time on our team for one year. This would help us to coordinate our activities and contribute to the development of our many projects.

$100,000

Fund a research project in collaboration with a university to fill in gaps of biological data that are essential to reach our goal.
