Jackson, head of the Hudson Motorcar Company, and Edsel Ford, son of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford, provided initial funds for building the laboratory on 13 acres donated by George Dorr, a major benefactor of the development of Acadia National Park. Clarence Cook Little on the premise that the causes of cancer and other diseases could be discovered through mammalian research. JAX is also the world’s source for more than 7,000 strains of genetically defined mice, is home of the mouse genome database and is an international hub for scientific courses, conferences, training and education. Its research staff of more than 200 Ph.D.s and M.D.s investigates the genetic basis of cancers, heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, glaucoma, diabetes and many other human diseases and disorders, as well as normal development, reproduction and aging.
Its mission is to discover precise genomic solutions for disease and empower the global biomedical community in the shared quest to improve human health. JAX_MGis also headquarters for JAX® Mice, Clinical & Research Services, which annually provides more than three million laboratory mice to more than 20,000 biomedical, pharmaceutical and industrial researchers throughout the world.Located at 600 Main Street, The Jackson Laboratory is an independent, nonprofit biomedical mammalian research institution and National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center.
JAX_MG is the epicenter of the Laboratory’s long-standing biomedical education and training programs for academic postdoctoral associates and independent faculty, including numerous educational workshops and conferences that include experts from academia, research and industry. More than 1,300 Ph.D.s, M.D.s, D.V.M.s and staff support cutting-edge research to investigate the genetic basis of human diseases and disorders. The Jackson Laboratory for Mammalian Genetics (JAX-MG), is a 43-acre campus nestled between the Gulf of Maine and the mountains of Acadia National Park, one mile from downtown Bar Harbor. JAX-GM employees consist of over 300 biomedical researchers, technicians and support staff in state-of-the-art laboratories and computing facilities.
JAX-GM sits on a 17-acre site on the campus of the UCONN Health, and faculty includes experts in genetics, genomics and computational biology. Our researchers are searching for new ways to predict, prevent, diagnose, and treat disease with the ultimate goal of developing individualized diagnostics, treatments and cures. is transforming medicine through innovative research focused on personalized medicine that will improve patient care, lower costs and benefit human health. The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM), located in Farmington, Conn. Join our team and contribute to our important mission of discovering precise genomic solutions for disease and empowering the global biomedical community in our shared quest to improve human health. With over eight decades of innovative research in mammalian genetics and a promising future in genomics, The Jackson Laboratory is finding new ways to predict, prevent, diagnose and treat diseases, with the ultimate goal of developing treatments and cures for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and other diseases. JAX has a academic research campuses in Bar Harbor, Maine, and Farmington, Conn and a research facility in Sacramento, Calif. Founded in 1929, The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) is an independent, nonprofit biomedical research institution with more than 1,900 employees who are passionate about our mission: to discover precise genomic solutions for disease and empower the global biomedical community in the shared quest to improve human health.
