Translational Pathology Shared Resource
Overview
The Translational Pathology Shared Resource provides investigators with a comprehensive suite of pathology services and technologies for studies involving human and animal tissues. The resource integrates tissue acquisition, histology, pathology expertise, and digital pathology capabilities to support the collection, processing, interpretation, and analysis of tissue specimens. Staff work closely with investigators to ensure that samples are characterized using appropriate methods and evaluated within the biological context of each study. By bringing these capabilities together within a single resource, the Translational Pathology Shared Resource supports tissue-based research across a wide range of experimental systems and disease settings.
