About us
Cancer. Diabetes. Alzheimer’s. Heart Disease. Parkinson’s. The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) leads the search to cure diseases rooted in our DNA. Founded in 1929, we are an NCI-designated Cancer Center since 1983 and an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit research organization with over 90 years of experience in genetics and genomics research. JAX blends the brightest minds with state-of-the-art resources to accelerate discovery. Areas of Discovery (75+ Principal Investigators, >250 Ph.D.s, M.D.s, and D.V.M.s): • Cancer: We are a National Cancer Institute designated Cancer Center focusing on cancer initiation, progression, prevention and therapies. • Developmental/reproductive biology: birth defects, Down syndrome, osteoporosis, fertility • Immunology: HIV-AIDS, anemia, autoimmunity, cancer immunology, immune disorders, lupus, transplant rejection • Metabolic diseases: atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, microbiome • Neurobiology: blindness, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, deafness, epilepsy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, neurodegenerative diseases • Neurobehavioral disorders: autism, addiction, depression Supporting Global Research: • The JAX Mouse Repository and Scientific Services are among the premier resources available for biomedical research. Committed to Education: • Summer Student Program (undergrad & high school) • Teaching the Genome Generation Short Course • Ph.D. programs: U. Maine, Tufts University and U. Connecticut • Courses, Conferences and Workshops

NEWS: We’re excited to announce a brand-new collaboration between Jack’s Tomorrow and The Jackson Laboratory (JAX)! With funding from Jack’s Tomorrow, JAX will begin a new project to engineer several induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines. These powerful tools are used to create any cell or tissue in the body, allowing scientists to study diseases in a culture dish. Not only will this research deepen our understanding of this disease, but it will also serve an important function to encourage more scientists to study PURA Syndrome. Because researchers need access to critical tools, our aim is to strengthen basic and clinical research on PURA Syndrome to build momentum towards a cure. We’re so grateful to our incredible donors who enable us to fund projects like this. If you or your company are looking for ways to support, visit our website!

JAX's Charles Lee, PhD, DSc, FACMG has been awarded an $8.9 million grant over four years by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to build new visualization and analysis tools that can accurately and comprehensively decipher hard-to-sequence areas of the human genome. Lee currently co-leads The Human Genome Structural Variation Consortium, a select group of scientists from around the world that provide better computational methods for genomic discovery, creating a more accurate picture of the complete #humangenome and linking relevant findings to the clinic:

Travis Beckett and Ameleen Wong are two of our 37 fabulous students in JAX Education's Summer Student Program this summer. We are so excited to have them featured in this article! #jaxssp100 #jaxssp24 The Jackson Laboratory
Science Educator | Undergraduate Cell Biology and Cancer Researcher | Ball State College of Science & Humanities
I was recently interviewed, alongside Ameleen Wong, by journalist Vivien Marx with Nature Methods about being a first-generation scientist. I feel very honored to be a part of this group of remarkable seasoned and young scientists interviewed for this article. Thank you to JAX Education/Laura Muller for this opportunity! https://lnkd.in/gfr8w9t6

Did you know? JAX's #iPSC catalog contains engineered cell lines derived from an induced pluripotent cell line, created at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in partnership with European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI and others. This line was selected for its favorable characteristics including ease of genomic editing:
