Core facility that provides provides state-of-the-art molecular pathology resources to the Harvard community including laser capture microscopy, DNA/RNA/miRNA quality/expression analysis, Luminex FlexMap 3D multiplex bead cytometry, and real-time PCR. The ATRC is a fee-for-use facility. For NeuroDiscovery members, the first 10 hours of training, consultation and instrument use is free. This initial period is intended to provide a first time user with preliminary data/proof of concept regarding their project, and is generally sufficient when investigators work under the aegis of ATRC staff. Thereafter, the base fee varies depending on activity and the extent of your proposed work. Project-based charge-back agreements for large projects can be negotiated with the ATRC Director, Dr. Charles Vanderburg. Although priority is given to NeuroDiscovery members investigating neurodegenerative diseases and the CNS, the facility is also available to any academic investigators within the Harvard medical community and the greater-Boston research community. Under special arrangements the facility may also be made available to the commercial sector. Please contact ATRC Director, Dr. Charles Vanderburg, for details.

Core facility that provides the following services: Tissue trimming, cassetting, processing, and embedding, Cutting and staining of paraffin-embedded and cryostat sections, Immunohistochemistry for both routine and novel markers, In situ hybridization, using chromogenic or radioactive detection methods, Laser capture microdissection.

Tissue analysis is critical to validation and evaluation of animal models of human cancer, and human cancer tissues serve as the operating system for translational research. The facility supports a wide spectrum of cancer-relevant research, from basic studies on pathogenic mechanisms in cancer to translational research focused on the development of new tests for biomarkers that stratify patients and direct therapy. The Specialized Histopathology (SHP) Core, was created in 2005 by consolidating five histopathology cores into a single unit with two performance sites: Longwood, Directed by Jon Aster and based at the Brigham and Women?s Hospital and MGH, Directed by Anat Stemmer-Rachamimov and based at Massachusetts General Hospital East in Charlestown. The SHP Core provides professional and technical research pathology services to DF/HCC investigators working in diverse organisms (e.g., rodents, fish, and monkeys) or human tissues. The Core also assists in experimental design and the development and interpretation of tests and their results. As of July 2012, the Longwood site offers CLIA Certified services.
