The Laboratory of Electron Microscopy, Histology, and Pathology

The Electron Microscopy/Histology/Pathology Laboratory is a Morphology Core Facility, which provides histopathological, immunocytochemical, and ultrastructural support for National Jewish Health research investigators and clinicians. The Core Facility provides quality control for morphologic studies, and optimizes use of supplies and equipment. Ongoing interaction of Morphology Core personnel with each investigator facilitates communication regarding morphologic findings, histopathological interpretation, and new technical developments, thus increasing the efficiency of the research projects. Staff are well-trained, extremely experienced technicians, and the laboratory has a wide repertoire of specialized techniques.

Areas of Research Interest Include (But Are Not Limited To):
 

Experimental Pathology

(Animal models of inflammation and pathologic states and in human pulmonary diseases.)

We have extensive experience in the evaluation of development and resolution of pulmonary inflammation, fibrosis, and in animal "models" of asthma. In the past ten years we have also explored the involvement of chronic infection with atypical pathogens in the persistence of asthma. We have a long-standing interest in pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension.

Cell Biology

Experimental responses of macrophages and neutrophils to mediators of inflammation. Apoptosis (studies in neutrophils, lymphocytes and epithelial cells).
