The Research Histopathology Core consists of three sub-cores located at strategically placed sites: The Sterling Forest Research Histopathology core (RHC), the Manhattan RHC, and the Immunochemistry core IHC.

The Manhattan RHC, located in the heart of the Pathology Department, provides histopathology services for both research human tissues and for animal model studies. The Core processes fixed human tissues (for IRB-approved studies), generating stained or unstained slides. We also have abundant expertise in animal models, especially mouse histopathology. Our highly trained personnel provide necropsy, dissection and tissue processing services, as well as frozen sections and customized services. As part of the educational mission of the Department, we also provide one-on-one consultation and training for graduate students, post-docs, and faculty on the use of Core equipment and the characterization of mouse models. Although there are commercial and academic histology services available, none can provide the same level of service, rapid turn-around time, or serve the educational mission of the Department as well as our on-site Core.
