Experimental Pathology for UW Carbone Cancer Center is located in the basement of the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research. This laboratory was developed from the original Histotechnology Laboratory which has provided histopathologic services to investigators at the McArdle Laboratory since 1963, the year it was founded by the Director, Dr. Harold P. Rusch and Dr. Henry C. Pitot. Dr. Pitot has continued to be the faculty advisor since its inception.
 The services performed include:
- Preparation of histologic sections from both paraffin-embedded and frozen tissue, including serial sections
- Block preparations of cell pellets and embryoid bodies
- Wide variety of routine and specialized histotechnology methods
- H&E
- Enzyme histochemistry
- Immunohistochemistry
- Special stains
- Slide preparation for in situ hybridization, LCM, and audioradiography
Over the last five years the number of slides produced by the Experimental Pathology has increased from 33,000 in 1998 to just under 86,000 in calendar year 2002.
One hour tutorial/discussion
groups are held each month to provide histology support
to researchers on campus.
