Histology

What do we do?

The laboratory is capable of histological and/or cytological processing of normal, pathological or altered tissues from any living organism for research purposes. Basic, routine and special procedures (fixation, dehydration, embedding, sectioning followed by routine and special histo-cytochemical staining) can be carried out.

Research and quantification of protein antigens by immunohistochemical techniques on tissue/cellular substrates, both fresh and FFPE, are carried out, also with semi-automated instrumentation. Strategic projects are supported in the fields of oncology (solid and haematological tumours), acute and chronic inflammatory diseases of various sites (liver, intestine, etc.), chemo-prevention and autoimmune diseases. In addition to these services, support and advice are provided to researchers both at the design stage and during the various phases of experimental activity.
