The Comparative Pathology Core Service (CPC) provides pathology support services and consultation for investigators working with animal models of human and animal diseases. The veterinary pathologists in the CPC provide gross and microscopic tissue examination, and clinical pathology evaluation.

In addition, the core can develop and implement ancillary techniques which include immunohistochemical methods, RNAscope (in situ hybridization), fluorescence microscopy, morphometry and photomicroscopy. CPC costs are based on histopathology lab services and pathologists’ effort. More detailed information can be obtained by contacting the CPC.
