The Pathology Core Laboratory at the Research Institute at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia provides basic histopathology, research immunohistochemistry, tissue microarray, and digital slide scanning services to researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and within the surrounding academic community. We offer a full range of histopathology services for both paraffin-embedded and frozen tissue samples including tissue processing, embedding, and cutting. We also perform most standard stains as well as immunohistochemistry, antibody workup, fluorescence, in situ hybridization and TUNEL. Tissue microarrays can be constructed and our staining services may be used on slides acquired from the arrays. Sophisticated imaging instrumentation is available for both bright field and fluorescent microscopy including whole slide scanning. We also host specialized software to analyze, manage, and store data on stained tissues and arrays.
We are located in the A Level of Colket Tranlational Research Center (CTRB) in room A410. Daniel Martinez (267-426-5635 martinezd@email.chop.edu) is the Lab Director and can address all questions regarding basic histopathology, research immunohistochemistry, tissue microarray and imaging. Dr. Ben Wilkinsoni, M.D./PhD. is the Faculty Director.
If you publish research supported by the core facility please include us in your acknowledgments:
“We thank the Pathology Core Laboratory at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute for providing services”
To All Digital Slide Users:
Leica is ending their support of e-slide manager, and we are in the process of evaluating alternative solutions for software to host the digital slides that the path core scans for our customers. Importantly the software that we choose will impact how are users are able to access, view, share and analyze the slides that we scan.
Updates 12/8/2025
Thank you for those who participated in the previous demo’s. We have scheduled a follow up session with Procia this coming Thursday (see below). I encourage our current users to participate, provide us with feedback, and champion the solution that would be the best fit for your labs. Your help is greatly appreciated!
