Advance life-changing science for women.

Endometriosis is under-researched, under-funded and affects millions of women worldwide. At The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), Dr. Elise Courtois is leading ground-breaking research to uncover how endometriosis lesions form, grow and recur — using cutting-edge single-cell and spatial ‘omics technology. Through the EndoRISE program, Elise and her team are building the first public, multi-institution Endometriosis Tissue & Data Repository, opening new doors to understanding and conquering this disease.
