Validation & Pathology Core

验证和病理核心由在临床胃肠病学、高级程序(内窥镜黏膜切除、内窥镜超声)、标本处理、分子生物学和病理学方面拥有专业知识的人员组成。核心人员在验证方法方面有多年经验。BETRNet专业研究资源(CORE)的具体作用是支持研究中心设计和分析荧光标记多肽与高度不典型增生和早期腺癌结合活性的验证研究，以便在Barrett‘s食道成像。该核心还将通过提供组织标本病理评估的方法和服务，支持三个主要研究项目、发展(试验)项目、跨BETRnet项目和其他跨BETRnet活动，包括EMR和活检。

The Validation & Pathology Core consists of personnel with expertise in clinical gastroenterology, advanced procedures (endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic ultrasound), specimen processing, molecular biology, and pathology. Core personnel have many years experience in validation methods. The specific role of this BETRNet Specialized Research Rescource (Core) is to support the Research Center in the design and analysis of validation studies for the binding activity of fluorescent-labeled peptides to high-grade dysplasia and early adenocarcinoma for imaging in Barrett's esophagus. This Core will also support the three Primary Research Projects, developmental (Pilot) projects, cross-BETRNet projects, and other cross-BETRNet activities by providing methods and services for pathological evaluation of tissue specimens, including EMR and biopsy.
