Hey guys, got the impression that I’m alone on this network !! I’ve created a non-profit DIY research lab on cancer and aging in France (website is for soon). We got outstanding results and even released an article in ABC journal on Metabolic Syndrome. Since working on mice is not allowed for us, we’d like to test our in vitro results in worms. For this reason, I’d be pleased to be tought how to cope with these little things.
I think the community on here is pretty sparse. I sent out a hello 24 days ago asking if there is anyone in Birmingham, UK but no responses. Think we are mainly isolated individuals.
I’d love to help you out but have no nematode experience. Hope we both get some responses. It’s eerily quiet in here.
Hey,
A few years ago we did some work with C. elegans. We prepared E. coli on LB medium and fed C. elegans on NGM with agar. I can of course send you the protocols, but I would have to translate them from Slovenian.
Cheers
Hi Laurent, I worked with C. elegans awhile ago, email me at biodiversityconnections@gmail.com with more info about your experiments or questions and I might be able to help. Otherwise I still have friends in the worm community who I can ask.
Thx a lot Adeline !! Nice to get some feed back !! Actually, I’m interrested in anything that copes with C. Culture, mutagenesis and prot/DNA extraction but I’ll e-mail u 4 sure
Great !! 4 sure I’d like though I should be able to find online protocols. The idea would be to go for real physical coaching here or in ur country… Let’s keep in touch.
There is Rachel Aronoff from Hackuarium Citzen Science biohacking Lab in Eclubens, Switzerland (near Lausanne) and I know she has been working on/with C. Elegans.
have a look here: I can also help contacting
Oh thanks a lot Maya !!! Actually I saw there’s much of activity in Switzerland. For example I tried to contact Gaudez in Luzern but no feed back … I’d be pleased if u’be got an email adress or phone numb.
