As a part of Cureline Group, CMS provides access to biospecimen acquisition (www.cureline.com) and translational histopathology (www.curelinebiopathology.com). Animal and human preclinical and clinical Tissue Processing services will be performed in collaboration with Cureline Biopathology LLC . CBP is a translational research histopathology laboratory located in Brisbane, CA. For all human biospecimens processed through our group, we provide an H&E slide and a detailed pathology report from a US-board certified medical pathologist (additional fees apply). Animal tissue can be examined by a DVM pathologist with an extensive expertise in animal toxicology
Human and Animal Tissue Processing
