Dutch Molecular Pathology Centre
We facilitate advanced, qualified and standardized molecular and pathological analysis of experimental animals for research of academic and industrial parties
Our team consists of board-certified veterinary pathologists with graduate and postgraduate training in animal genetics as well as cellular and molecular biology.
Equipment
The Dutch Molecular Pathology Centre (DMPC) has a state-of-the-art facility for processing, staining and imaging of tissues from experimental animals. We offer full necropsy service including gross examination of tissues, appropriate tissue fixation, slide preparation, and histological evaluation. Pathological findings will be described, digitalised, quantified and interpreted by a comparative expert team composed of veterinary and human pathologists as well as animal model scientists to evaluate the significance of the pathological findings as animal model for human diseases. We offer transgenic reporter marker analysis, such as LacZ and GFP for monitoring tissue cell-type specific expression. In addition we offer quantitative measurements for proliferation-, apoptosis-, differentiation-, inflammation-, fibrosis status utilising immunostainings on animal tissues.
Access
This facility is available to any other party either in the form of partial cost-recovery based collaboration or full-cost service,
