Jackson Laboratory
The Jackson Laboratory plays host to a variety of courses, meetings and workshops designed to maximize professional scientific interaction for students and established investigators alike. These gatherings serve a critical function both in maintaining currency within various scientific disciplines, and improving or enhancing the informational exchange between disciplines. In the context of the genetic research and resources offered by The Jackson Laboratory, these public forums serve to train new and established scientists how to use the laboratory mouse as a tool to understand basic mammalian biology and human disease.
The Jackson Laboratory offers educational programs for scientists at various stages in their careers - from talented high school students to experienced researchers.
The nationally renowned Summer Student Program provides high school and college students with an opportunity to conduct independent research under the guidance of staff scientists. More than 2,000 students, including two Nobel laureates, have participated in the program. Other educational opportunities at the Laboratory include an academic-year internship program for local high school students, an academic-year program for undergraduates, thesis research opportunities for graduate students, a cooperative Ph.D. program with the University of Maine, and a training program.
