Master the latest techniques in cancer research
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. Whether you're studying brain, breast, colon, lung, leukemia/lymphoma, or prostate cancer, this workshop equips you with practical skills that can be applied to your research.

The workshop is structured to provide a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Mornings are dedicated to lectures by world-renowned scientists who will share the latest insights and advancements in cancer modeling. These sessions will cover a variety of organ sites and emphasize common themes in cancer research. Afternoon sessions are focused on intensive laboratory work, where you will apply what you’ve learned in a controlled, supportive environment.
Whether you're focused on a specific type of cancer or exploring multiple cancer types, this workshop is ideal for researchers who want to advance their expertise in cancer modeling and apply these techniques to their own studies.
What You’ll Learn:
A unique aspect of this workshop is the opportunity to present your own research or proposed projects to course faculty and peers. While optional, this is a chance to receive constructive feedback and engage in meaningful discussions that can enhance your research approach. We encourage participants to prepare a 2–3-minute PowerPoint presentation to share their work.
Additionally, part of this workshop includes pathology sessions. Participants are encouraged to bringFIXED slides for analysis and discussion. Please Note: You are not permitted to bring fresh tissue to The Jackson Laboratory.
Completion of the workshop may be used towards continuing education units for AALAS and Academy of Surgical Research (ASR) re-certification.
