Partners
We're building World Genome Academy's founding partner cohort. Our summer 2026 alpha pilot launches with a small group of committed partners — and we're actively looking for the universities, schools, technology providers, and community organizations who want to build the next phase with us.
The long-term vision is a federated network where every contributor keeps control of their own data while adding to a shared picture. We're starting small and honest: real partners, real students, real sequencing — then growing from there.

If you're a school, university, research group, agency, or community organization — anywhere in the world — and you want to bring hands-on environmental DNA science to your students or community, we want to hear from you. We adapt the program to your context: your ecosystems, your curriculum, your goals.
We start with our LA pilot and design every partnership to travel — local in every cohort, global in ambition.
- Schools & educators — run the curriculum with your students, on real sequencing hardware
- Universities & research groups — mentor students, co-develop protocols, shape the data commons
- Technology & community partners — contribute hardware, expertise, or local knowledge

We're assembling the partners who will build the first real chapter of World Genome Academy. If that's you, let's talk.
