About the core

The Comparative Pathology Research (CPR) Core provides comprehensive whole animal phenotyping assistance through the various services offered by the CPR, which include consultation, necropsy (gross, macroscopic and microscopic evaluation), hematology, histology and microbiology. This assistance will be provided by an experienced research veterinarian and core staff trained in veterinary pathology with expertise in each of the offered services.

All work performed is charged by time/effort except for necropsy supplies and services offered under Histology and Microbiology.

Available to Yale researchers & external researchers

Rates

The Mouse Research Pathology Service is the only service at the Yale School of Medicine providing pathologic phenotyping by comparative veterinary pathologists. In addition to gross and histologic evaluation of animal models, we also provide a variety of high quality histology services tailored to individual projects.
