Supporting The Jackson Laboratory's mission to discover precise genomic solutions for disease.
The services and collections of the Joan Staats Library support The Jackson Laboratory's mission to discover precise genomic solutions for disease and empower the global biomedical community in the shared quest to improve human health.
Our specialized collection areas focus on genetics, inbred mice, animal health and husbandry, development, embryology, complex traits, immunology, cancer, molecular biology, neuroscience and computational biology.
Over 11,000 online journal titles and a book collection of more than 3,400 volumes comprise the collection. The library is located on the second floor of the C.C. Little Library and Conference Center.
The Jackson Laboratory Historical Archives Collection includes the C.C. Little Papers, 1929-1954; The Jackson Laboratory Staff Personal Papers, including the George Snell Papers; The Jackson Laboratory Publications; a Photograph Collection of over 5,000 prints and negatives; and numerous media and museum collections.
How working with genetically diverse could revolutionize our understanding of human disease and treatment.
Diverse mouse models show promise in how we understand and treat diseases, offering a significant improvement over standardized but limited mouse and cellular models.
Genetic testing is a powerful tool in the fight against cancer, playing a crucial role in both prevention and personalized treatment. But what exactly are the different types of genetic tests, and how do they help?
Whether you have a specific disease, gene, tissue, phenotype, or therapeutic in mind, there are four excellent resources to help you with model selection.
To understand the future of these preclinical studies, we sat down with James Keck, Ph.D., who was recently recognized as a JAX President’s Innovation Fellow for his work creating mouse-based platforms to study the immune system, and evaluate new therapeutics for both safety and efficacy.
Researchers are working to broaden the genetic diversity of mice used in biomedical research.
The Jackson Laboratory has hired its 125th employee at the Charles E. Hewett Center in Ellsworth. The Center opened just three years ago to enable wider access to vital JAX mouse resources for the worldwide biomedical research community.
James Keck has been recognized as JAX President’s Innovation Fellow for inventions to accelerate drug development.
