48. Molecular Pathology Shared Resource (MPSR)

The Molecular Pathology Shared Resource (MPSR) facilitates tissue-based research through three integrated services: (1) Tissue acquisition: Routine tissue banking and annotation, patient/project/trial specific banking, and Next Generation Banking (characterizing captured frozen tissue) and FFPE procurement; (2) Processing: End to end histology services, TMA construction, immunohistochemistry/IF, DNA/RNA extraction, image digitization service; (3) Characterization: H&E and IHC/IF slide review, image analysis, RNA/DNA quantification and quality assessment. Thus, we enable discovery, characterization, and validation supporting hundreds of PIs and IRB protocols.
