The agenda for the 2026 JAX-NYSCF Conference is now live. Join global leaders in stem cell science, cellular engineering, genetics, and translational research for two days of groundbreaking science and collaboration. Explore the full agenda and speaker lineup: https://go.jax.org/jax-nyscf-conf

Why do some people stay healthier longer as they age? By studying genetics, biology, and emerging technologies, JAX scientists are working to extend healthy years, not just lifespan. Read it: https://go.jax.org/GoodYears 🧬 🧪

Many of the biological changes that drive Alzheimer’s disease begin years before symptoms appear. 🧪🧠 This Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, we're highlighting how JAX is pioneering new approaches to Alzheimer's disease. Learn more: https://go.jax.org/Alzheimers

Did you know genetic cancer testing can guide prevention? 🧬 🎗️ 🧪 This >3-minute video developed with JAX's Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative (MCGI) explains how testing can inform screening, prevention, and care decisions (and how it differs from biomarker testing). Learn more: jax.org/patients

Twenty years after the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) transformed biomedical research, the field is entering a new era. Read more about the evolution of stem cell science and where it may lead next: https://lnkd.in/o5gtb

🎗️ For ten years, JAX's Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative has connected world-class genomic science with the clinicians and communities who know their patients best, transforming science into action. Explore a decade of precision, partnership, and progress: go.jax.org/MCGI10 🧪 🧬

🧬 Thanks to the infusion of new data, traditional purple & white histological images can be replaced by Tissue AI-generated maps that display thousands of distinct colors — each representing different information. The future of tumor imaging is here: https://bit.ly/4mBsb7q

See the full story: go.jax.org/EndoRISE33126 🎥 JAX, UConn Health, and the state of Connecticut established a first-of-its-kind, coordinated ecosystem, EndoRISE, aligned around a shared goal: accelerate discovery and improve outcomes for endometriosis, a disease disrupting millions of lives.

EndoRISE is a collaborative engine—bringing together JAX, @uconnhealth.bsky.social (UConn Health), and the state of Connecticut—to advance endometriosis research, innovation, support, and education. See how we're addressing the endometriosis challenge on March 31. #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth

What happens when researchers, clinicians, advocates, and policymakers build something together? See how JAX, @uconnhealth.bsky.social (UConn Health), the state of Connecticut, and EndoRISE are addressing the endometriosis challenge on March 31. #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth

A new painless patch developed by researchers at JAX in collaboration with @mit.edu offers new way to monitor immune health. The microneedle patch samples key immune cells often missed in routine blood draws and biopsies. 🧪🏥 go.jax.org/skin-patch

Lighting JAX campuses is a small but meaningful way we show our relentless support, illuminate our persistence to find new breakthroughs, and reflect hope for the 300 million living with a rare disease. Here's a favorite time-lapse from 2022's light up. 🦓 💚💜🩵🩷 #RareDiseaseDay #LightUpForRare 🧪 🧬

New year, new era of discovery. Thank you for all of your support this year and we can’t wait to share 2026 with you. Happy New Year from all of us at The Jackson Laboratory!

Developing new drugs is one of the riskiest and most expensive endeavors in science, but a new project led by The Jackson Laboratory aims to change that. JAX's new CARDIOVERSE project combines AI, stem cells, and genetic variation to predict drug safety before human trials. 🧪 go.jax.org/cardioverse

What does it take to turn a bold idea into a life-changing treatment? At JAX, innovation is more than progress — it’s the power to transform lives.

Same mission. Different methods. Radiation, chemo, immunotherapy—each fights cancer in its own way. Want to understand how? 🎬 5 minutes of the basics: https://youtu.be/cT3E1OzxZnY Discover more resources just like this: www.jax.org/patients
