Guzick sent out the following email outlining Dr. Ranum’s achievements. David S. Guzick, M.D., Ph.D. Senior Vice President for Health Affairs, UF…
We, the Molecular Pathology Core, have recently added a Customer Feedback Form to our website. We want to hear back from our submitters. We encourage you to fill out a feedback form to let us know what you think of our services. …
A recent publication by University of Florida investigators highlights the utility of laser microdissection to separate pancreatic ductal epithelium and stroma. Dr. Song Han and colleagues published their studies in Oncotarget describing alterations in miRNA important in pancreatic tumor biology. Laser microdissection was performed by Dr. David Gonzalo, Chief Gastrointestinal…
Dr. Campbell-Thompson recently hosted Dr. Edward Stack from PerkinElmer who gave a seminar titled “Phenoptics: Navigating the immunological microenvironment, in situ, to uncover the hidden clues of cancer immunology.” Use of multispectral staining and image analysis was demonstrated for a variety of tumor types with immune cell phenotyping for personalized…
Dr. Ann Fu performed in situ hybridization for LINC00473 using an ACD RNAScope customized probe with Dr. Lizi Wu (cAMP/CREB-regulated LINC00473 marks LKB1-inactivated lung cancer and mediates tumor growth, JCI 2016). Enhanced LINC00473 expression was highly correlated with LKB1 mutational status and was associated with poor survival in human lung…
Dr. Campbell-Thompson and colleagues recently published an article on the immunophenoytyping of islet inflammation and residual beta cell mass in organ donors with type 1 diabetes in the March, 2016 issue of Diabetes. One of their images was selected for the journal’s cover. The multiple immunofluorescence staining was done by…
