Pathology Translational Research Core Facility

The Pathology Translational Research Core Facility provides the infrastructure, expertise, and laboratory resources needed to advance translational research across a broad range of disease areas. Supporting investigators from basic science through clinical application, the facility helps accelerate discoveries that improve diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes.

Researchers have access to comprehensive pathology research services, including histology, immunohistochemistry, digital pathology, biospecimen procurement, molecular testing support, and clinical laboratory collaboration. These capabilities enable multidisciplinary studies in cancer, genomics, biomarker discovery, infectious diseases, and precision medicine.

The Core Facility serves as a collaborative hub for academic, clinical, and industry-sponsored research, providing support for study design, assay development, laboratory testing, data collection, regulatory processes, and research implementation. Through an integrated approach, the facility helps bridge laboratory discoveries and clinical innovation.

Biospecimen and Biorepository Resources

The Pathology Translational Research Core Facility maintains a robust biorepository program that provides researchers with access to high-quality, well-characterized biospecimens and associated de-identified clinical data. These resources support translational research initiatives aimed at advancing understanding of disease biology and improving patient care.

By collecting, processing, storing, and managing biospecimens under established quality and regulatory standards, the biorepository enables research in cancer, rare diseases, biomarker development, diagnostics, and precision medicine. Access to curated specimens and related data helps investigators identify disease mechanisms, validate research findings, and accelerate the development of new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.
