McGowan Institute Histology Core Laboratory

The McGowan Institute operates a state-of-the-art histology laboratory in our Bridgeside Point II facility. The laboratory was funded by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration and is under the administrative leadership of Dr. George Hussey. Histology is an essential tool in the development of tissue engineering and cellular therapies and allows for timely and detailed interpretation of in vitro and in vivo experimental results. Bridgeside Point II is the hub for the Institute’s research, and the close proximity of the histology lab to the research laboratories is crucial to the rapid assessment of our emerging technologies.
Our laboratory offers full histology services including processing and embedding, cutting, staining, and immunohistochemistry. The services in the histology laboratory can be customized to fit the needs of any research program.
