Histology

Services Provided

The laboratory is equipped to perform histological and/or cytological processing of normal, pathological, or altered tissues from any living organism for research purposes. It carries out basic, routine, and specialized procedures, including fixation, dehydration, embedding, sectioning, and routine or special histo-cytochemical staining.

The laboratory also conducts research and quantification of protein antigens using immunohistochemical techniques on tissue and cellular substrates, both fresh and FFPE, with the aid of semi-automated instrumentation. It supports strategic projects in oncology (solid and hematological tumors), acute and chronic inflammatory diseases affecting various organs (e.g., liver, intestine), chemoprevention, and autoimmune diseases.

Beyond these services, the lab provides support and guidance to researchers, both during the project design phase and throughout the different stages of experimental activity.
