The Molecular Pathology Shared Resources is a joint initiative sponsored by the Department of Cancer Biology and the UMASS Memorial Cancer Center at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.  The initiative has the objective to provide academically-oriented consultation time and scientific collaboration from an expert veterinary pathologist with expertise in mouse pathology and embryology to Cancer Center investigators at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.  

The goal is to foster and enhance scientific projects that involve animal models of cancer, transgenic and knockout technology, with the objective to publish innovative and academically sound research in the premiere scientific literature.  The services will entail a board-certified mouse pathologist with demonstrated expertise in mouse embryology traveling to the Department of Cancer Biology located on the fourth floor of the Lazare Medical Research building on the University of Massachusetts Medical School campus for consultation period of approximately three hours/week.  

 

Every meeting is coordinated with an agenda set up through the Department of Cancer Biology to arrange consultation time of the veterinary pathologist with interested UMASS researchers.  Typically, a maximum of one hour of Consultation time of the mouse veterinary pathologist will be allowed per each investigator and will be used to review histology slides, review details of experimental protocols, etc.  The consultation room will be housed in one of the procedure rooms of the Department of Cancer Biology and will be properly equipped with a high quality histology microscope with on-line camera, multi-head adapter and desks and other office supplies that will be also provided by the Department of Cancer Biology.  Please contact Patricia Jamieson at (508) 856-2696 with any questions or to set up an appointment.
