Core--Histochemistry

组织化学核心提供最先进的技术支持、设施和协作专业知识，为本项目的主要研究人员提供所需的组织化学和形态学方法。核心服务和设施包括组织固定和处理（包括低温切片），组织和组织化学染色（如lacZ），免疫细胞化学，荧光显微镜，图像分析和激光捕获

The Histochemistry Core provides state-of-the-art technical support, facilities, and collaborative expertise for histochemical and morphological methods needed by the principal investigators of this Program Project. Histochemistry Core services and facilities include tissue fixation and processing (including cryostat sectioning), histological and histochemical staining (e.g., lacZ), immunocytochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, image analysis, and laser capture microdissection. If necessary, the Histochemistry Core can provide in situ hybridization and confocal microscopy. The proposed Director of the Histochemistry Core is Dr. Denis G. Baskin, an established scientist in the fields of histochemistry and diabetes/endocrinology research. He is Research Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington and is also Senior Research Career Scientist in the Seattle VA Medical Center. Dr. Baskin will oversee the administrative and scientific activities of the Histochemistry Core and act as a collaborator on Program Project studies that utilize the core.
