Translational Research/Pathology Shared Resource

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. Immunohistochemical staining, which is performed on paraffin sections, frozen tissue or cytologic preparations and utilizes a broad range of optimized commercial antibodies or antibodies provided by the investigator; automated processing and tissue stainers provide highly reproducible results and allow co-registration of staining in the SR with analysis carried out in clinical pathology laboratories
3. Procurement, banking and distribution of human neoplastic tissue, which are essential to support the translational research goals of SKCC
4. Laser Capture Microdissection of tissues to capture individual cells
5. Quality Assurance and Clinical-Pathologic Data Collection
