Top Tips for Overcoming the Impact of the Pandemic on Scientific Discovery
The early days of the COVID-19 pandemic created a ripple effect throughout the scientific community. Research organizations and academic institutions worldwide had to use data and leverage solutions like outsourcing and cryopreservation to continue to thrive despite the setbacks. For JAX, pivoting due to the impact of the pandemic was business as usual. As part of our operational best practices, JAX has emergency response plans developed to ensure we can overcome almost any situation and are able to support our customers. From the beginning JAX continued all operations and our inventory of readily available strains (like C57BL/6J, NSG™, and BALB/c) were not impacted. We didn’t stop there though and continue to make changes and introduce new ideas. Now with a second wave of active COVID-19 cases, use these tips to stay out ahead of the potential disruption to the discovery process. Have a plan, act fast

Focus on what is important
Read more about how JAX has addressed this need with the development of a sensitive and reproducible preclinical research platform that can be used to screen immunotherapies for host response and potential inflammatory events as well as provide valuable insight into the efficacy of anti-inflammatory therapies in infectious diseases (like COVID-19), that can progress to CRS.
