The department of pathology operates several research cores for Brigham Research institute, Dana Farber/Harvard 91精品, and Mass General Brigham.
Specialized Histopathology (SHP) Core
The Specialized Histopathology (SHP) Core provides consultative and interpretive pathology services including high quality, timely, state-of-the-art analysis of tissues obtained from a variety of experimental systems, including rodents, fish, and monkeys. This Core also provides professional expertise to assist in experimental design and the development and interpretation of tests and their results.
Tissue MicroArray Core
The Tissue Microarray (TMA) Core generates tissue microarrays that allow hundreds of tumors and samples to be evaluated on a single slide, maximizing precious tissue resources. The Core also provides access to TMA Profiler, a Web-based database that facilitates data dissemination and sharing.
Cytogenetics Core
The Cytogenetics Core provides insight into regions of the genome that are pathogenetic in various neoplasms, leading to an understanding of the molecular pathways that play a role in the biology of cancer. The Cytogenetics Core provides conventional metaphase karyotyping and a comprehensive menu of molecular cytogenetic methods.
