Pathology Services

We have access to a range of pathology-based services, from processing to access to tissue samples. These are based within the Paul O'Gorman and Rockefeller Buildings in Bloomsbury, central London.

CI Pathology TTP

Pathology Translational Technology Platform

The Pathology Translational Technology Platform provides a wide range of tissue-based and molecular services to research scientists within the UCL Cancer Institute and throughout UCL.

Immunopathology core

Immunopathology Translational Technology Platform

This service provides microscopy-based techniques (e.g. single and multiplex immunolabelling) to identify novel biomarkers and for studies targeting the tumour microenvironment.

A collection of biobank samples with labels

Biobank

The UCL Cancer Institute Biobank provides access to normal and diseased human tissue samples which are surplus to diagnostic requirements.


Pathology software repository

This github repository is a collection of software packages developed to support the processing and analysis of whole genome sequencing data from cancer samples. In part it requires working installations of various packages obtained from the Cancer, Ageing and Somatic Mutation group at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. 

Scientists interrogating complex cancer genomes, particularly those with aberrant copy number profiles might find our tools to identify chromothripsis or recurrent rearrangements particularly useful.
