ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE PURPOSES OF THE LABORATORY ARE SCIENTIFIC, MEDICAL, CHARITABLE, AND EDUCATIONAL TO DISCOVER PRECISE GENOMIC SOLUTIONS FOR DISEASE AND EMPOWER THE BIOMEDICAL COMMUNITY. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION, THE LABORATORY: 1) CONDUCTS BASIC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH TO INCREASE THE KNOWLEDGE OF DEVELOPMENT, GROWTH, REPRODUCTION, PHYSIOLOGY, AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY THROUGH RESEARCH WITH GENETICALLY DEFINED EXPERIMENTAL MOUSE MODELS AND OTHER MODELS OF DISEASE; 2) CONDUCTS TRANSLATIONAL BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH TO IDENTIFY THE GENOMIC IMPACT ON HUMAN DISEASE, PROMOTE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MORE PRECISE, TARGETED THERAPIES, OFFER CUTTING EDGE GENOMIC DIAGNOSTICS TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, AND PROVIDE ADVANCED COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS, DATABASES AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS TO THE BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND MEDICAL COMMUNITIES; 3) TRAINS AND EDUCATES STUDENTS, SCIENTISTS, PHYSICIANS, AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS IN THESE AREAS; AND 4) PROMOTES SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY THROUGH THE PROVISION OF MOUSE MODELS AND OTHER MODELS OF HUMAN DISEASE AND THE PROVISION OF RESEARCH, CLINICAL, COMPUTATIONAL AND INFORMATION SERVICES TO THE GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL COMMUNITIES. |
| PROGRAM SERVICES | FORM 990 PART III LINE 4A-4C DEVELOP AND PROVIDE GENETIC RESOURCES THE JACKSON LABORATORY (JAX) IS A GLOBAL RESOURCE FOR DEVELOPING, DISTRIBUTING AND ANALYZING INNOVATIVE MODELS OF HUMAN DISEASE. IT OFFERS AN ARRAY OF MODEL CREATION, HUSBANDRY AND DIAGNOSTIC AND ANALYTICAL SERVICES, RANGING FROM CUSTOM BREEDING AND STRAIN PRESERVATION TO DRUG EFFICACY STUDIES AND GENOME SEQUENCING, ALL FOCUSED ON EMPOWERING BASIC SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND DRUG DISCOVERY. JAX MAINTAINS OVER 10,900 GENETICALLY DISTINCT STRAINS OF RESEARCH MICE AND, IN 2018, DISTRIBUTED THEM TO RESEARCHERS FROM MORE THAN 1,700 ORGANIZATIONS IN APPROXIMATELY 50 COUNTRIES, TO SUPPORT THEIR EFFORTS TO FIND CURES FOR THE WORLD'S MOST DEVASTATING HUMAN DISEASES AND BRING ADVANCED THERAPIES TO PATIENTS. THE LABORATORY ALSO HOSTS THE MOUSE GENOME INFORMATICS DATABASE, THE WORLD'S SOURCE FOR INFORMATION ON MOUSE GENETICS AND BIOLOGY. IN 2018, 700 MOUSE STRAINS WERE DONATED TO THE LABORATORY OR DEVELOPED BY JAX RESEARCH STAFF WITH ACADEMIC/FOUNDATION OR PUBLICLY FUNDED RESEARCH PROGRAMS. THE LABORATORY MAKES THESE RESOURCES PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE THROUGH ITS REPOSITORY, PRODUCTION AND RESEARCH SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THESE STRAINS HELPS SUPPORT CURES FOR THE WORLD'S MOST PREVALENT HUMAN DISEASES AND ACCELERATES THE TIME TO BRING NEW THERAPIES TO PATIENTS. THE LABORATORY COLLABORATED WITH OTHER NON-PROFIT PATIENT FOUNDATIONS FOR RARE DISEASES TO ESTABLISH MOUSE RESOURCES TO FURTHER PRECLINICAL THERAPEUTIC STUDIES. THE LABORATORY MAKES THE JAX CLINICAL KNOWLEDGEBASE (CKB) RESOURCE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE, ENABLING CLINICIANS AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCHERS TO INTERPRET COMPLEX CANCER GENOMIC PROFILES. ACCEPTANCE AND USAGE OF CKB HAS BEEN STEADILY INCREASING; CKB HAS RECEIVED OVER 300,000 VISITS SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN 2016. BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH THE LABORATORYS RESEARCHERS COMBINE EXPERIENCE IN MAMMALIAN GENETICS AND HUMAN GENOMICS TO SHAPE AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO PERSONALIZED MEDICINE. SCIENTISTS WORK COLLABORATIVELY AND CROSS-DISCIPLINE, LEVERAGING EXPERTISE IN CANCER, IMMUNOLOGY, NEUROGENETICS, LIFE-CYCLE BIOLOGY, THE MICROBIOME, AND COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY. MORE THAN 400 LABORATORY SCIENTISTS HOLD ADVANCED DEGREES AND THE LABORATORY SUPPORTS MORE THAN 70 RESEARCH TEAMS. FACULTY MEMBERS HAVE 534 ACTIVE SPONSORED RESEARCH COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS WITH 574 ACADEMIC RESEARCH AND CLINICAL INSTITUTIONS. MULTIPLE LABORATORY CENTERS COORDINATE EXPERTISE AROUND CRITICAL RESEARCH AREAS. SINCE 1983 THE LABORATORY HAS HAD A NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE-DESIGNATED CANCER CENTER, ONE OF ONLY SEVEN SUCH DESIGNATED INSTITUTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES. TO DATE 26 NOBEL PRIZES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH LABORATORY RESEARCH, EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES. EDUCATION AND TRAINING THE LABORATORY OFFERS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR SCIENTISTS THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREERS FROM STEM EDUCATION FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND TRAINING FOR SCIENCE AND MATH TEACHERS TO COURSES AND CONFERENCES FOR EXPERIENCED RESEARCHERS DEFINING THE CUTTING EDGE OF GENOMICS AND GENETICS INTO THEIR PRACTICES.
