The Tumor Tissue and Pathology Shared Resource (TTPSR) at Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center (WFBCCC) consists of three well-integrated laboratories:
- Tumor Tissue Lab
- Human Pathology Lab
- Comparative Pathology Lab
Mission
The mission of the TTPSR is to facilitate translational cancer research by:
- Collecting and supplying high-quality, well-characterized human and animal tissues (neoplastic and normal)
- Providing various pathology services to WFBCCC investigators
Focus Areas
- Collect and supply high-quality, well-characterized human and animal tissues (neoplastic and normal).
- Provide scientific and pathological expertise related to tissue collection, processing, histological and immunological staining; and evaluation to support the development of clinical protocols, grant applications and manuscripts.
- Provide pathology services for human and animal tissues for cancer investigations.
