Pathology and Histopathology Support
Pathologists from or affiliated with the laboratory are
board-certified veterinary pathologists (American College of
Veterinary Pathologists) and can provide pathology support including
gross pathology and histopathology on a wide array of animal species
used in experimental studies. If you are planning a study, it is
best to discuss your project with the pathologist in advance to be
sure that the appropriate samples and controls and optimal
processing of the tissues are accomplished. The investigator should
also discuss the type of histopathology report and any scoring or
quantitation of lesions needed at the end of the study as well as
any supporting photography, immunohistochemistry or other special procedures that might be
needed.
Toxicologic
pathology support can be provided for non-GLP studies. Contract and inter-institutional aggreements can be established to support both small and large studies.
If you have fixed tissues from a project and need histopathology support including tissue analysis and photomicrographs for your manuscript or grant application please contact Dr. Castleman for advice and/or assistance. Submission forms are available.
