Lesley joined The Jackson Laboratory 28 years ago. She began her career as a Research Technician at the University of Guelph (Guelph, Ontario, Canada) and moved into core facility management at Fox Chase Cancer Center (Philadelphia, PA) where she managed the Electron Microscopy Facility for several years. Since joining JAX, her group has grown from two services (Histology and Electron Microscopy) to include an additional two services (Clinical Chemistry and Research Necropsy). Collectively, the Histopathology Sciences (HPS) team offers a broad array of services designed to provide phenotyping at multiple levels.
HPS collects, processes and delivers results that include data from hematology, chemistry and immunoassays, tissues collected and prepared to specification, tissue blocks and slides (paraffin and frozen) as well as samples prepared for transmission and scanning electron microscopy. All requests are customized to the submitter's needs. HPS supports the research staff; this includes collaborating with other core facilities at JAX to provide unique solutions for specialized requests. HPS assists our Diagnostic Laboratory in maintaining the health of our mouse colonies. In addition, it works with our Pre-clinical Services and the Rare Disease & Translational Center to find solutions to projects that have a broader impact.
HPS is a creative and dedicated team of professionals with a wide range of skills. Together, we support research across all JAX campuses, providing samples, slides and data that enable discoveries to be made every day. We offer in-house training, opportunities for professional growth and development, and advancement in a career that is out of the ordinary. HPS could be a perfect fit if you are looking to work in a dynamic field that consistently challenges you and offers a variety of activities from one day to the next.
HPS supports JAX’s mission to discover precise genomic solutions for disease and empower the global biomedical community in the shared quest to improve human health. If you want to be part of a team where your work matters every day, consider joining us!
