The Human Tissue Repository and Tissue Analysis Shared Resource (HTR-TASR) are jointly funded by the Cancer Center and the Department of Pathology. They have been set up to facilitate the translational research of the faculty in the Cancer Center, the Department of Pathology, the School of Medicine and across Institutes. This website describes the services offered and contact details of HTR-TASR staff members who can advise on specimen availability and all aspects of histology and molecular pathology.
To facilitate the acquisition, storage, and distribution of high quality human tissue samples to UNM researchers for use in scientific investigations while observing appropriate ethical, scientific, and legislative principles and regulations.
To acknowledge use of this shared resource, please include the following in your publications: This research was partially supported by UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center Support Grant NCI P30CA118100 and made use of the Human Tissue Repository and Tissue Analysis Shared Resource, which receives additional support from The University of New Mexico School of Medicine Department of Pathology.
The TASR provides a variety of histology services, including various types of immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining, as well as various molecular pathology techniques such as PCR, Real-Time PCR, DNA and RNA extraction from tissues and fluids and immunofluorescence.
