Histology and Imaging Core (HIC) - University of Washington

Department of Comparative Medicine - HIC - CPP - GNAC - BSL3/ABSL3 - IVS - TRP - UWMCC - UW PRO

COVID-19 Update

The Histology and Imaging Core staff are currently working remotely to the fullest extent possible but under new guidelines issued by the University we are able to partially staff
the lab in person to support essential research. Our current staffing is limited and highly restricted so our turn-around time for project completion
is longer than normal. If you are interested in any of our services or have a question about your samples please contact Brian Johnson for more information.

brianj18@uw.edu.

Under the mandated “Stay Home, Stay Healthy proclamation the Office of Research has adopted criteria for certain “in-person” research to continue. To see if your research meets
these criteria please visit the Office Of Research Website, https://www.washington.edu/research/

Please keep in mind this is a fluid situation and can change at any time.

We look forward to working with you under normal operations soon.
