As we ring in the New Year, we reflect on a year defined by progress, partnership, and purpose. 2025 was filled with travel for trade shows, growth opportunities, and even more festivities and team bonding events.

As we ring in the New Year, defined by progress, partnership, and purpose. At Jackson ImmunoResearch, our commitment to providing high-quality secondary antibodies and immunological reagents enables us to continue supporting researchers worldwide in advancing discovery and innovation. From strengthening customer relationships and expanding scientific collaborations to enhancing reliability, consistency, and service, 2025 was a year of meaningful impact. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together—and energized for what lies ahead.

This year, we had the privilege of attending six LSEs (Life Science Exhibits), AACR (American Society for Cancer Research), ADLM (Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine), AAVLD (American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians), SFN (Society for Neuroscience), and ASCB (American Society of Cell Biology). We love attending exhibitions and conferences because they are a way for us to see familiar faces, put faces to names, and meet new ones. At these events, we can learn about the research and applications our customers perform, and guide them to products and techniques that can help them achieve their goals. This was our first year attending AAVLD, the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians. It was great getting to connect with our veterinary customers and learn more about their specific interests and needs.

This fall, Jackson ImmunoResearch provided colleagues the opportunity to attend the PA Conference for Women and the Delaware Bio Women in STEM event. Both local events are great resources for female staff at JIR to network and continue learning, and develop professionally.

Despite a busy schedule, there was still plenty of time for JIR employees to have some fun and unwind. Departments engaged in “team bonding” activities, such as making unique ice cream flavors at a local creamery, and sharing funny stories while indulging in special treats. Earlier in the year, employees geared up and helped The Natural Lands Trust in their process of restoring portions of native meadows and forests at a local preserve by planting trees for the day (learn more). In June, we travelled back in time through the decades, at our annual summer picnic. From bell-bottoms to boomboxes, shoulder pads to flapper dresses, each decade was represented. Employees gathered to dress the part and celebrate the styles, sounds, and memories that shaped the decades (learn more). In July, some employees went to a local preserve to plant trees. Halloween at JIR, as always, was celebrated with our annual costume contest and spooky treats. In November, we carried on a newer tradition of going to Milburn’s Orchard and having a family bonfire and hayride. Hot dogs were roasted, marshmallows were toasted, and everyone enjoyed some cider and conversation around the bonfire! The year would not be complete without JIR’s holiday party and a week filled with festivities. These events are a great way to wrap up the year and celebrate all that was accomplished.

Jackson ImmunoResearch is thankful to everyone who contributed to making 2025 a remarkable year. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on what lies ahead in 2026 here.
