Welcome to the Barts Cancer Institute Pathology Laboratory at Queen Mary University of London. We are a specialist research facility providing high-quality histology services to support cancer and biomedical research. We play a vital role in transforming biological samples into meaningful data, helping researchers understand disease mechanisms, validate experimental models, and advance the development of new diagnostics and therapies.
Our laboratory offers a comprehensive range of services including tissue processing, paraffin embedding, sectioning for Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) and Frozen samples, routine and advanced staining techniques. We provide Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, a wide selection of special stains, and expert immunohistochemistry (IHC) services, including both single-plex and multiplex staining. These techniques allow precise visualisation of tissue structure, cellular morphology, and protein expression within normal and diseased tissues.
Equipped with state-of-the-art automated histology platforms and supported by a highly experienced team, we ensure accuracy, consistency, and reproducibility across all workflows. We support researchers across Barts Cancer Institute and Queen Mary University of London, as well as external academic and industry collaborators, offering tailored solutions to meet diverse research needs.
What sets us apart is our combination of technical expertise, advanced histology technologies, and a collaborative, research-driven approach. From routine histology to complex multiplex immunostaining, the Barts Cancer Institute Pathology Laboratory provides dependable, high-quality services that enable impactful discoveries in cancer research and beyond.
