Overview of Services

The Translational Research/Pathology Shared Resource provides outstanding full range histopathology services complemented by access to unique banked tissue collections and Laser Capture Microdissection of tissues to capture individual cells for SKCC members, TJU and external users. The Translational Research/Pathology Shared Resource is used by over 100 investigators and has provided key data that support numerous publications and grant applications.

Mission

The mission of this shared resource is to provide:

1. An outstanding array of histopathology services, including tissue processing, slide preparation, histochemical staining
2.
