Help us learn more about monkey health by identifying white blood cell types.
Learn moreStart with the "Beginner's Practice" to learn how to identify white blood cells. Once ready, click on "Single Cell 2" (Top Priority) or "Identify White Blood Cells - Set 6".
You're welcome to try out our new Reptile blood workflow test or the Red Blood Cell and platelet workflows for variety where you only mark cells.

Percent completeWe need your help to identify different blood cell types to help us understand which monkeys may be sick and which are healthy.
Monkey Health ExplorerOur research team is studying the health of rhesus macaque monkeys on the island of Cayo Santiago in Puerto Rico. We are working with many other scientists as part of a large collaborative project to improve understanding of the relationship between the behaviour of the monkeys and the genes they have.
In this project we need your help to count and identify cell types in a blood sample, similar to what happens when our blood is taken at the doctor. These cell count data are critical to helping us understand which monkeys are healthy and which animals are sick in the population we’re studying. We can then compare the health data to the behaviour data to help understand how the health of monkeys impacts how they behave. This will provide us with information useful to understanding similar processes in humans.
