The Jackson Laboratory

Overview

The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) is a nonprofit biomedical research institution founded in 1929 in Bar Harbor, Maine. It focuses on uncovering the genetic basis of diseases, particularly cancer, using mouse models. JAX has played a pivotal role in establishing mice as standard models for human disease research and has contributed significantly to various fields, including gene therapy and aging research.

With nearly 3,000 employees across multiple locations, JAX operates with a mission to discover genomic solutions for diseases and support the global biomedical community. It is recognized as a National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center and has a robust operating budget. JAX is the leading provider of genetically defined laboratory mice, offering a range of resources such as breeding stocks and bioinformatics. Its research programs encompass mouse genetics, human genomics, and computational modeling, addressing a variety of diseases and advancing scientific knowledge worldwide.
