Specifically, her lab is interested in "molecular pathways associated with intratumoral angiogenesis", "cell-tissue interactions associated with tumor-induced angiogenesis," and "tumor heterogeneity and cancer stem cells".[2] Jackson's parents were in the military and traveled frequently through her childhood; as a teenager, she lived in Mesa, Arizona. There, in a summer calculus course, her talent for mathematics brought her to the attention of Arizona State University mathematics professor Joaquín Bustoz, Jr. She went on to undergraduate studies at ASU, originally intending to study engineering, but steered to mathematics by Bustoz.[3] From there, her interest in pure math developed into an interest in mathematical biology when she attended a talk by her future PhD advisor, James D. Murray, on the mathematics of pattern formation and, "how the leopard got its spots."[4] She graduated in 1994, and earned her master's and Ph.D. at the University of Washington in 1996 and 1998.[5][6] After postdoctoral research at the University of Minnesota, Environmental Protection Agency, and Duke University, she joined the Michigan faculty in 2000, and was promoted to full professor in 2008.[7] She was awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2003, becoming the second African-American woman to become a Sloan Fellow in mathematics. She won the James S. McDonnell 21st Century Scientist Award in 2005, and won the Blackwell-Tapia Prize in 2010.[8] In 2017, she was selected as a fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics in the inaugural class.[9] References1. ^{{cite magazine| url=http://diverseeducation.com/article/10472/| title=Mathematics: Connecting the Dots – Trachette Jackson|first=Add, Jr.|last=Seymour| department=Emerging Scholars: The Class of 2008|date=January 10, 2008|magazine = Diverse Magazine| accessdate = 2015-08-01}} 2. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~tjacks/research.html| title = The Jackson Cancer Modeling Group| work= University of Michigan Website| accessdate = 2015-08-01}} 3. ^{{cite journal|title=Teacher, Research Mathematician, Mentor: A Groundbreaking Career in Computational and Mathematical Biology|journal=SIAM News|volume=43|issue=6|date=July–August 2010|url=http://www.ibparticipation.org/pdf/TrachetteJacksonSIAMnews.pdf|department=Expanding our Scope|first=Carlos|last=Castillo-Chavez|authorlink=Carlos Castillo-Chavez}} 4. ^{{cite magazine| url=http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/roots-of-unity/mathematics-live-a-conversation-with-victoria-booth-and-trachette-jackson/| title=Mathematics, Live: A Conversation with Victoria Booth and Trachette Jackson|department=Roots of Unity|first=Evelyn |last=Lamb |date= October 9, 2013| magazine= Scientific American|accessdate = 2015-08-01}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thehistorymakers.com/biography/trachette-jackson|title=Trachette Jackson|work=TheHistoryMakers|accessdate=2015-08-01}} 6. ^{{mathgenealogy|id=50432}} 7. ^Curriculum vitae, March 28, 2011, retrieved 2015-08-03. 8. ^{{cite web| url=https://www.math.hmc.edu/moodylectures/2014-fall/|title=Trachette L.
