Molecular Pathology & Cell Imaging Core Facility

Molecular Pathology

The Vancouver Prostate Centre’s Molecular Pathology core facility offers clinical grade, high throughput analytical services with fast turnaround times. Our unique access to live human tumour tissues allows for identification of new tumour targets, validation of function, and the development of tumour models in our Functional Genomics core facility.


Cellular and Molecular Imaging Suite

The Cellular and Molecular Imaging Suite supports the use of state-of-the-art bright field, laser scanning and spinning disk confocal fluorescent microscopic imaging technologies for cellular and subcellular localization studies of molecules and pathways critical to prostate cancer cell growth and survival. These imaging systems are used to monitor cellular expression and localization of proteins, which enable studies of the role of these factors in regulation of tumour cell growth, survival and differentiation signalling pathways.
