History

Facilities

• The Jericho Center for Genetic Medicine is the largest facility operated by the Jericho Foundation in the United States. Located in an secluded valley near the border between New York and Connecticut, the Center, sometimes called "Jericho East," consists of nearly a dozen buildings surrounded by a high-security perimeter. The facilities include an extensive underground compound of laboratories, operating rooms, and holding cells for mutant patients deemed either too dangerous or too valuable to keep at the surface. These underground facilities are kept secret from the public. It was here that Jamie Morrigan was held before she was rescued by Dragon and Spectre.
