The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) is a National Cancer Institute designated cancer center that provides education as well as resource and service initiatives that support cancer research worldwide.
As part of our education initiative, JAX offers two signature cancer courses:
This signature cancer training program at JAX combines expert-led seminars with hands-on workshops and computational sessions, providing a broad survey of contemporary cancer research and experimental modeling for postbacs, graduate students, postdocs and early career researchers. Engage and network with leading experts in cancer genetics, cell biology, tumor immunology, and emerging animal models of human cancers during interactive workshops, poster sessions and evening receptions. Registration includes full access to lectures and course materials. Special pricing is available, including scholarships, group discounts and virtual rates.
Join us for a comprehensive, hands-on workshop where you'll learn to harness the power of genetically defined laboratory mice to explore gene function and the role of genetics in cancer biology. Didactic lectures by world-renowned scientists reflect current knowledge of modeling cancer in a variety of organ sites and emphasize common themes in cancer research and modeling. During intensive hands-on laboratory sessions, participants will develop skills in cancer model manipulations and surgical techniques that are broadly applicable for many cancer types, such as brain, breast, colon, leukemia/lymphoma and prostate cancer.
