The goal of the Path Core is to accession and prepare well characterized tissue for analysis.This effort will be led by Dr. Noam Harpaz Chief of GI Pathology at the Mount Sinai MedicalCenter, and two GI pathologists. Both human and mouse components are served by the core.This core will be heavily used by all projects with the following aims:
Specific Aim 1 : To retrieve, process, and distribute suitable specimens for the four Projectsas needed (human - projects 1 and 3; murine - projects 2, 3 and 4).
Specific Aim 2 : To stabilize and preserve undistributed tissues for long-term storage andmake them available to other Projects or investigators as needed.
Specific Aim 3 : To maintain a detailed tissue database (mouse and human) documentingthe anatomic sources, the gross and microscopic pathological characteristics of the individualtissue specimens, and the clinical and pathological data pertaining to the patients (or mice)from whom specimens were derived. .
Specific Aim 4 : To perform blinded histologic evaluation and scoring of inflammation in thedifferent murine models of IBD used in projects 2, 3 and 4. (Dr. Xu).
