Why Jackson exists

Jackson Labs provides animal testing with patient-derived models, using a patient's tumor tissue in mice (PDX) so that drugs can be tested on a living model of the cancer. For patients weighing uncertain treatment choices, this offers a way to see how therapies perform against their own tumor biology before committing to a course of treatment.
