Research Pathology Facility Core

Director: Michael Goedken, Ph.D.

Mission Statement

The mission of the EOHSI Research Pathology Services (RPS) is to support animal models of human disease by providing histology techniques and veterinary pathology services. With expertise in a wide range of species, RPS can assist with the selection of animal models, design of experiments, analysis of gross and microscopic tissues, and interpretation of findings. RPS is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and is staffed by an ACVP boarded veterinary pathologist and a full-time technician. We encourage early partnership with investigators during the development of research projects to provide the best research, technical, and administrative support.
