Histopathology
GINYS-IRB-001
The facility offers histopathological services and training opportunities to the IRB scientific community and external public and private research centers, applying their experience to provide personalized and cost-effective support.
The facility offers a wide variety of histological studies, ranging from routine techniques and services to the development of new approaches (IHC, IF, ...), experimental pathology studies, reports and consulting services (phenotyping of mouse, animal disease models, drug efficacy). and non-LPG toxicity studies).
The staff of the facilities also participates in the organization and teaching of specialization courses and master's degrees in Pathology and Toxicology of Laboratory Animals.
