EEO Statement:
The Jackson Laboratory provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment in all job classifications without regard to race, color, religion, age, mental disability, physical disability, medical condition, gender, sexual orientation, genetic information, ancestry, marital status, national origin, veteran status, and other classifications protected by applicable state and local non-discrimination laws.
Nonprofit mouse genetics data hub
The Jackson Laboratory conducts biomedical research using laboratory mice to study genetic and genomic causes of human diseases. It maintains the Mouse Genome Informatics database, combining genetic, genomic, and biological data, and also provides engineered mice and genomic data analyses to researchers. It differs from many competitors by pairing a large, publicly accessible data resource (MGI) with hands-on mouse model production and specialized services, backed by education and collaboration across sectors. Its goal is to accelerate human health by understanding how genetic variation drives disease and by equipping researchers with data, models, and training to advance medical discovery.
