Jackson Laboratory

Biomedical research the laboratory's researchers combine experience in mammalian genetics and human genomics to shape an integrated approach to personalized medicine. Scientists work collaboratively and cross-discipline, leveraging expertise in cancer, immunology, neurogenetics, life-cycle biology, the microbiome, and computational biology. More than 400 jax staff members hold advanced degrees and the laboratory supports nearly 60 research teams. Faculty members have 324 active sponsored research collaboration agreements with 245 academic research and clinical institutions. Multiple laboratory centers coordinate expertise around critical research areas. Since 1983 the laboratory has had a national cancer institute-designated cancer center, one of only seven such designated institutions in the united states. To date 26 nobel prizes are associated with laboratory research, education programs and resources.

Education and training the laboratory offers educational programs for scientists throughout their careers from stem education for high school students and training for science and math teachers to courses and conferences for experienced researchers defining the cutting edge of genomics into their practices.
