The Histology-Anatomocytopathology Platform comprises several sites. It offers complementary technologies and competencies to cover all cytology/ histology steps, including tissue preparation (cryopreservation, paraffin/resin embedding), histological staining and immunohistochemical staining, and microscopic assessment via photonic and electronic imaging.
To provide its range of expert services and technologies, the platform calls upon a number of sites, associating several Genopole entities, the Genethon laboratories, I-Stem and SABNP, the electron microscopy platform and the anatomical pathology / cytopathology department of the South Ile-de-France Medical Center. This groundbreaking platform, created in collaboration with the hospital, strengthens cooperation in fundamental and clinical research at the biocluster.
