Pathology Research Core
The Pathology Research Core (PRC) facility provides state-of-the-art tissue processing and analysis services to support biomedical and clinical research. With expertise spanning sample collection, histopathology, organoid models and analysis techniques, for studies on both human and non-human tissues.
The Pathology Research Core (PRC) facility offers a broad range of tissue collection, processing and analysis techniques to facilitate biomedical and clinical researchers. We collect preclinical and clinical samples and process them for analyses and storage.
Samples are collected as fresh frozen specimen, processed for formalin-fixing and paraffin embedding (FFPE), or prepared for electron microscopy (EM).
We have a vast range of antibody-based protein expression detection techniques (chromogenic and fluorescent) and chemical procedures for histopathological assessment.
Our facility can also culture and process/analyze patient derived tumor organoid PDO models in specified extracellular matrix (ECM) gels upon request.
We provide high-quality histopathological services to support research into human and non-human (mouse, rat, fish) healthy and diseased tissues
