From the very early stages of the pandemic, Jackson Laboratory (JAX) has been helping address COVID-19 not only in Connecticut, but around the world.
From testing patient samples for healthcare providers, developing mouse models for COVID-19 research, assisting labs around the world to continue their research during the pandemic, to its own research on COVID-19 immunity and antibodies, JAX has been at the scientific forefront in combating coronavirus.
In March, JAX offered assistance in supporting Connecticut’s ability to quickly ramp up diagnostic testing capabilities. This effort has grown to JAX supporting COVID-19 testing for approximately 20% of Connecticut’s tested population.
JAX plays a role in maintaining and distributing genetically defined mouse models to the global scientific community for testing safe and effective therapeutics and vaccines, and to understand more about human disease.
When the pandemic arose, JAX knew there would be a significant and immediate need for mouse models for COVID-19. In order to meet that demand, JAX acted quickly to generate the model researchers around the world are using to study COVID-19 vaccines and treatments.
In addition, JAX faculty members are helping better understand the virus by studying the immune response to COVID-19, determining disease susceptibility and progression in patients.
