Pricing information and sample submission
Our mission is to facilitate project planning, clinical validation and implementation of novel translational technology and research in the fields of molecular diagnostics, molecular therapeutics, pharmacogenomics, quantitative morphologic image analysis and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited laboratory ensuring optimal clinical quality assurance. This past year, the PSR expanded its physical footprint by moving all of the histology and cell therapy services to the 5th floor of the Borwell Building and expanding the genomics services on the 4th floor of the WTRB.
