Histology services for basic researchers
The Department offers a full range of histology services for researchers, including special stains and immunocytochemistry. Services are available at a per-slide rate, or special arrangements may be made to charge supplies and effort directly to a research project.
Investigators who will be using human tissue from the URMC Labs need to complete a request form that is signed off by the Director of Surgical Pathology and the Director of the Research Subjects Review Board:
