Laser Microdissection core laboratory aids in the extraction of defined cells and tissues to allow target-based research. The laboratory will also assist in the extraction of DNA, RNA or protein from specific cells or tissues of interest to aid the NIEHS investigators in their research. The LCM lab works closely with the Pathology Support Core Laboratory, Microarray Core Laboratory, Epigenomics and DNA Sequencing Core Laboratory and Mass Spectrometry Research and Support Group to develop protocols for the analysis of biomolecules in frozen or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues.
